Fabric Art Manhole Cover -Mannie's Final Image (?)
Mannie went off to a workshop on quilted fabric "manhole covers"!?

Helen Fujiki led the workshop, sh has travelled to Japan. Mannie extended her picture works to fit the manhole cover format. And as usual she quilted, appliquéd, painted with acrylic paint and Sharpies, printed, embroidered and beaded with Czech crystals. We will wait to see its final, final form.

As well, on line there are people who have done fabric replicas of manhole covers from various cities. (https://www.etsy.com/listing/63338292/nyc-sewer-printed-pillow-large?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=nyc%2Bsewer )
And others (noted on google images for fabric art manhole covers), like Mannie, who make their own images for the covers and use them as pillows, wall hangings and mats.
Amazon even publishes a book on quilting manhole covers.
Go figure. There is no limit to the creative mind!! Hurray!!!!
