Cathy Brorby has always enjoyed making things with textiles. Her sister taught her how to knit when she was in elementary school and this experience led her to learn crochet, embroidery and cross-stitching.
In 1995, Brorby and a dear friend went to see the movie “How to Make an American Quilt” and it inspired them to take a quilting class for beginners. They were immediately hooked. She soon realized that cutting fabric into pieces and making a design with them was much more gratifying than cutting out pattern pieces and sewing them together to make articles of clothing. She eventually took more classes and explored other quilting styles and techniques.
Recently, Brorby has turned her focus to wool appliqué. She embellishes her works with different threads, beads and materials in order to add layers of complimentary colors and textures. She loves to experiment with rainbow color schemes and how those schemes flow and interact with each other.
The pieces on display are not for sale, but you are welcome to contact Brorby about her work at cbrorby@gmail.com or 530-219-8211.
Meet Cathy Brorby at her 2nd Friday ArtAbout reception on May 8 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. Live music will be performed by the Folk Music Folks in the Coldwell Banker parking lot next door.
Public receptions for local artists will also be held at various venues on that same evening in conjunction with the Davis Downtown 2nd Friday ArtAbout. You can see more details and download a map of venues at facebook.com/davisartabout or https://theartery.net/2nd-friday-artabout
