My Side of the Story - Part I - Quilt Competition Artists

Fiber Artist, Mardi Howell

Category: Thing The Game of Life

Mardi’s creative journey started long before she can remember. From drawing at a very young age to sewing at the age of nine, she would become completely lost in whatever she was creatively doing. Today, her journey continues along a parallel road filled with fabric and paint. This narrative quilt project showcases Mardi’s love for fiber and art. It is the best of both worlds. Mardi’s narrative quilt tells the story of her journey living in various places around the United States and then landing in the perfect blend of southern hospitality and creative hub; she has craved this her entire life. The application of this journey is illustrated through the popular Game of Life, a 1960s version, which takes the viewer on a journey through texture and color, ending up in the beautiful place I now call home: Thomasville, Georgia.
