Last Kiss Art Cuts Up at Quilt Festivals
Last Kiss art has appeared on magnets, mugs and much more. But can it cut it as…a quilt?
Apparently so!
The original art as it appeared in FIRST KISS #20 (1961) by Vince Colletta. Click image to enlarge.
Thanks to the nimble fingers (and mind) of professional quilter Sue Bower, art from the Last Kiss archive has become a 44 x 45-inch piece of Americana wall art called “Dottie’s Lament.”
Completed in late January, “Dottie’s Lament” has already been accepted for competition in two prestigious, juried shows:
—The Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival (Feb. 25-28, 2016)
—MQX Quilt Festival—New England (April 6-9)
“The 2016 Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival…has an entry category called ‘Mid Century Modern,’ said Sue. “Nothing says mid-century modern to me more than romance comics and Roy Lichtenstein’s art, as I grew up in the 60s.”
