Viva Las Vegas

By Sally Zimmer of Bark River, Michigan

Artist's Statement:
This challenge could only be fun and whimsical. Elvis is on stage but ready to gamble. I included the landmark Stardust Tower, a film clip of Elvis, a slot machine, and of course, money. For the back, I did a slice and dice of Elvis pictures to make "All Shook Up".

Techniques used: free motion and hand applique, machine piecing, beading, hot fix crystals, three dimensional sculpted doll, found items, machine quilting.

There is lots of glitz and dimensionality to this quilt.

The money is dimensional, and haphazard.

Great found objects!
