Consitt at 236-4381 or 236-4560 By JOY SCHEIFELE “There are so many things around us which people in general are not aware of that I like to try and emphasize them and draw people’s attention to their 'existence,”" explained 'Judy Wolfe. Judy Wolfe of Ailsa Craig was a first place winner in the Craftsman Designs competition held last week at the London Regional Art Gallery. Keenly interested in both art and quilting she entered a quilted vest she herself designed and com­ pleted. “It was my first garment, and my firstshow” said Judy excitedly. “I could z hardly believe it won”. Her vest was among the more than 140 entries in the competition which was judged by three jurors. Fifty of the items were chosen for a fashion show held Wed­ nesday at the London Regional Art Gallery and modelled by members of the Women’s Committee to the IRAG, sponsors of the festival. She and her husband, Pat, who builds and gives in­ struction in building log homes, are both deeply in­ terested in ecology and involved in organic gar­ dening. “If people can become more aware of their environment they are more apt to be open to change their habits for ecological reason”, she stressed. “It may be a bit idealistic, but I would like to use my work to help draw people’s attention to details around them”. Her interest in quilting began approximately four years ago when the ladies of the Ailsa Craig United Church invited her to join them at their quilting bees held in the church basement each week. About the same time she attended a travelling quilt show by Kim Ondatje called “Tradition Plus One” at the London Art Gallery. From then on her interest steadily grew. She studied several books on the subject and began making items for her friends and family. “I soon felt a need to move on from the cushion covers and place mats”, she ad­ mitted. “Last September I enrolled in four sketching courses which have been just brought to London by the Ontario College of Art”. “I became interested in art out'of a need to develop and do my own designs. This way it becomes more relevant and I’m more personally involved.” Last summer she attended the National Quilting Con­ ference in Washington where a wide range of quilting was exhibited including modern trends where artists use the medium of quilting and use fabrics rather than the traditional canvass for their work. Currently she is selling many of her hand crafted baby toys and quilts to a shop in London, but is looking forward to becoming more involved in designing clothing and wall quilts in the modern trend.
