Sticky Fingers Glued Collage
Online May 25th
|
I really enjoy work ing with glued collage, because it's extremely fast and fun! Once the design is composed, there's no need to quilt it, add a binding, etc. Plus, it's possible to work with tiny bits of fabric which are too small to easily sew.
You'll have a chance to learn the technique when the next class starts on May 25th.
Cruciform #1, is an example of the technique. (My first glued collage. Way fun!)

New Work: Crotons
|
 I'm really happy with my latest quilt, Crotons. At 60 inches wide, it's about twice the size of my typical quilt. (And it took a good bit longer, too.) But, the leaves have tons of impact at this scale! I definitely love that!
See a detail shot of this quilt and more information here. Plus, there's tons on my blog about this quilt, from design to completion. |
Melbourne, FL Exhibits: Florida in Fabric
and Yvonne Porcella Retrospective |
There's big news for art quilters here in Melbourne, FL. Not only is there a juried quilt exhibit coming up at our prestigious Center for Textile Arts, but a companion exhibit of Yvonne Porcella's work has also been arranged! AND Yvonne will be giving a gallery tour!
Also, my Crotons quilt will be in the juried exhibit. The theme is postcards from Florida, which is reflected in the proportions of the quilts.
