A special wall hanging from 1980 by Pat Reese

A wall hanging of mixed media

Anne Reese worked in the shop right up until her first baby was born.
(The baby was Margaret Ellen Harrison. Born Feb. 13, 1980.)
Anne was a great help and made it possible for me to have time for art work

1970's soft art by Pat Reese


I made several round beds in the 1970's.  this one was a sofa/bed for Pablo Calderon for his apartment.   It was 6 feet in diameter and about 6 inches thick.  The cover was made with classic patchwork design and went on like a fitted sheet, so it was washable.  Pablo loved it and used it for a long time.


These little abstract dancers were all made in 4 parts tied together at the top with different little covered buttons for "hats"  I still have one or two of them somewhere.  The photo was made by my friend Jim Sanders who is also a fiber artist.  At that time he was head of the 5-state Ozark Foothills Craft Guild based in Mountain View, Arkansas.


A blue jean jacket embellished with lace, embroidery and applique.  One of several I made during this period.  When I find more photos I will post them.  My brother had a  denim shirt that he wore on stage in the San Francisco production of "Hair" which ran for a year.  Bill played trumpet in the band which was onstage during the entire  performance.
