Creative Whimsy Spotlight

As part of my spotlight on Creative Whimsy, I was asked to show several completed quilts.

Crotons served as an example of my earlier quilting style. This piece is one of my all time favorites!

Then, I showed some of my more recent abstract pieces, along with these words about my transition to this style.

My first attempts were definitely not great art, but I think they were necessary in order to develop my skills. I don’t regret the time they took or the fabric they required. The PROCESS was valuable! 

This is my mindset in a nutshell. It makes me a little bit fearless because I know the process is valuable, not just the product.

Ripples and Runs is a more recent abstract piece, featuring my own hand dyed fabric.

A big thank you to Creative Whimsy for featuring me and my art! Their website has many more spotlights of very interesting artists. I hope you’ll investigate.

Featured Spotlight on Creative Whimsy

Creative Whimsy, a website about artists and their endeavors has just done a spotlight on me. How nice!

They sent me a ton of questions and I answered most of them. (I mean, you didn’t want to read PAGES about me, right?)

I was glad they asked about my process. I explained how I make decisions at the design wall, since it’s the part of quilt making I really like the most. I showed this series of pictures as an example.

They also asked for a photo of my studio. So, I bravely walked in, LEFT EVERYTHING IN PLACE, and took a photo. This gives you an idea of what it looks like mid-project, although it’s usually much worse!
