Liese Bronfenbrenner has created unique pieces of fabric art for forty years, enhancing her fiber art skills with workshops at Quilting by the Lake, Arrowmount, Penland, as well as consultation with fiber artists all over the world. Her work, consisting of wall hangings, small quilts, soft sculptures, and artists' books have been exhibited at national exhibits such as Stitchery International ‘81-Pittburgh, Needle Expressions 88'- Bloomington, Aullwood Audobon Center-Dayton, as well at galleries and juried craft and quilt shows in New York State.

Chance Designs Crazy Quilt
$250

Silks on cotton base
Dyed and printed with chance techniques: sun-dying, monoprinting, dip-dying, rubbings, transfer prints, hand and machine stitched, tied.

I have been observing how much chance plays in creative design, due both to planned and unexpected fabric painting, dying, and printing techniques, as well as over-printing one technique over the other. Combining the results of these experimental techniques to create the small quilt was challenging and exciting.
