Phyllis Mignard

Commissioned for a private school library, partners Sharon Mann and Phyllis Mignard created a magical vision, in fabric, of what happens to a child’s imagination when they begin to read. The 4’ x 15’ fabric illustrated banner incorporates quilting, embroidery, crocheting, knitting, beading, hand sewing and painting techniques in its construction. Based on an original illustration by Phyllis Mignard the banner consists of four sections, each measuring 40” x 48”. Sharon and Phyllis work together designing the banner showcasing each character with continuity between the illustrations and fabric characters.
