Marquetta Bell-Johnson

Marquetta Bell Johnson is one of the featured quilt artists at the 2011 Atlanta Quilt Festival. Her quilts are always made from her hand dyed fabric and include lots of hand work.

Ocean Garden greets visitors as soon as they enter the South Fulton Arts Center. It is the type of quilt that needs to be enjoyed up close to appreciate the fine detail.

If you want to see this quilt in person, tomorrow is your last opportunity. The exhibit at South Fulton Arts Center, 4645 Butner Road, College Park, GA, closes tomorrow, August 13, 2011 at 4 p.m.
