“Spring Forth” Complete
After many distractions, I finally got back to working on my Red Bud quilt. I decided to name it “Spring Forth,” because I was captivated by the way the Red Bud blossoms pop right up out of the trunks. I got lucky with the background fabrics. Many of them had colorful dots which worked…
Coastal Cut Up
Remember the great scenery I saw along the coast of California? I couldn’t get those strong water colors out of my head and knew I wanted to make a quilt inspired by them. Amazing, right? And, yes, the water was actually that color. I wasn’t quite sure how I wanted to represent this idea, but I…

What Next?
After successfully cutting up a UFO (unfinished object) and using it as the starting point for some little collages, I was anxious to do it again. The question was “Which UFO do I use?” Because, well, I have more than one. Maybe I could do something with this partially constructed prickly pear. Or with this…
