Sometimes we encounter the most surprising individuals. Jimmy McBride, also known as Stellarquilts, was on a short visit to earth when we crossed his path. Jimmy spends his time transporting salt and vinegar from planet to planet, but his favorite pastime is creating and reveling in the comfort of quilts. These textile wonders reflect the cosmic landscape that float past his spaceship’s window: galaxies, nebulae, black holes — even the Milky Way. Jimmy has opened the pod bay door and invited us on an unbelievable voyage.

I'm always amazed at how a true artist can take an idea or technique with such deep roots and long standing practices and totally re-invent it! Stellar work (pun intended, but compliment sincere)!

I found Stellarquilts a short while back & am impressed with this artist's talent. Decades ago, when art quilts were a seminal movement, men quilt artists were a real rarity with Michael James being the best known. It's simply wondrous to see how this medium continues to evolve and expand its inclusiveness. Congratulations!
