Perfectly Imperfect – Dianne McCarthy

This is a “Temperature Quilt”. I recorded the high and low temperatures of every day in 2024 corresponding to our specific location. Temperatures were grouped and designated a color. I translated these colors into a large square as the “low” temperature and the slash as the “high” temperature. This was completed March of 2025 in time  to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. We are perfectly imperfect together.

About the artist: Dianne McCarthy’s work has been exhibited in galleries as well as regional and national quilt shows. She is on the Board of the Palm Beach Modern Quilt Guild, presenting lectures, designing quilts, organizing and leading their production for both exhibition and charitable giving. Personally fabric is a tactile and familiar medium for her; a connection to her mother and grandmothers who introduced her to the art of making. She is inspired by color, shape, light, shadow, and movement. Fabric begs her imagination to transform it into something that’s representational, abstract, fun, artful, cheerful, and sometimes difficult.
