The Quilt Show Puzzle: "Mr. Secretary" by Sue Sherman
Do a puzzle of Sue Sherman's quilt, Mr. Secretary.
Mr. Secretary is based on a photo that Sue took of a Secretary bird, hence the title of the quilt, in Kenya. She loved the way that the feathers, which normally hang down the back of the neck, kind of went up in the air with the wind and the expression upon the bird's face. The quilt was made during Sue's earlier days of painting with thickened dyes on white fabric, at a time when she was mostly doing portraits of different animals. From this period, Mr. Secretary is the favorite of her animal portrait quilts.
