Here are some interesting links for your enjoyment. First, a gallery of wonderful quilts made by the Front Range Contemporary Quilters. You’ll love them! Next, check out the beautiful and subtle work of Cas Holmes. Finally, something a little different: painted pebbles. I was intrigued by these because some of them looked almost like they…
Maybe you’re familiar with the fiber art of Jill Kerttula. She’s known for her realistic scenes and rich textural techniques. I recently got to meet up with her to see her exhibit in Charlottesville, VA. We were greeted by this fabulous piece, Crowd of Strangers. And that’s Jill standing with it.

The Way it GoesThe background was made improvisationally, but the gold shapes were added with (mostly) conventional pattern making. (It turns out the two methods are a little tricky to use together.) But, I’m very happy with it….
Really nice! I love the green fabric you dyed.
Thanks, Kristin! I like that fabric, too. The green covers an earlier dud, but it taught me the value of having something interesting as that first under layer, rather than solid white.
