Design Your Own Nature Quilt
Online September 21st |
Check out the great quilt at right. It's made by Monica Spicker and she calls it April in Amsterdam.
Monica made this quilt in my Design Your Own Nature Quilt class. Although her starting photo was awesome, she improved upon the composition, while still capturing the backlit quality of these tulips. Great work!
This is my favorite class to teach, because the students find they're able to do things they would have never thought possible. Exciting for everyone!
You can join the fun (and challenge) online starting September 21st. Enrollment is very limited. Find full details here.

Summer Fields |
When you reorganize your sewing supplies do you find things you'd forgotten about? This happened to me recently, when I discovered a lovely collection of silk fabrics hidden away. I'd already been working on a new sketch and I knew immediately that these fabrics would be perfect for it.
This little quilt (20 x 14) was inspired by the farm view from my parent's driveway. I love the gently rolling fields, which gave me the idea for the name, Summer Fields. Perhaps you can identify the loose representation of a corn field. I did quite a bit of hand stiching on this piece, so be sure to check out the details link.
Working with raw edged silks can be challenging, but I had a few tricks in my tool box. Read more about the construction on my blog. And see more quilt details here.
