Sara Mika's quilt work takes grandma's past time to a new level. She uses both hand and machine to physically construct the awe inspiring quilts. The images are modern and unique, her humorous style pours out of each work. She uses a combination of blue,yellow, and green in works such as "give peas a chance", and red,purple,pink in works such as "cupcake". I think her color combinations and imagery work really well.
Sara deserves a lot of credit for the painstaking handcrafted design of each quilt, but it's the T-shirtesqe style of her work that i really enjoyed looking at. She adds words or slogans such as "Give Peas a chance" which i think makes her art more commercially appealing.
Overall i definetly enjoyed her quilt work, it isnt everday you get to see handcrafted personalized quiltwork, and her style takes the process into a different direction that i think is good. Sara is definelty the antithesis of the traditional overpriced amish style quilting of southern and central pennsylvania
