“Tomato Encore”
Well, I did it! I managed to push my brain into abstraction territory and I created this tomato. It’s called Tomato Encore. I kinda love it. Partly because of the imagery, and partly because I’m proud of myself for FINALLY working loosely! Here’s a detail shot. I’m continuing to work on some loose experiments,…
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…

Here’s another report on my awesome Design Your Own Nature Quilt students, at Empty Spools. Lucy was a delight. Like Katie, her only quilting experience was with simple piecing. The design concepts and construction techniques were completely new to her and she was very willing to learn them. Her inspiration photo was one she had taken herself….

Fresh on the heals of my recent “rough draft,” I used my lessons learned and jumped right into the next piece. I wanted to use some of my hand dyed fabrics with larger scaled prints. This is fairly new to me and I often find it challenging. A good reason to do it! I pulled…
Great information!
Oh oh OH! I gotta try this *soon*! Thank you for the tutorial.
PS – How did you create those irregular fabric edges on Red Strata?
Good question. That’s one of my favorite techniques. I call it jagged cutting. The idea is to scrunch the fabric into your scissor blades as you’re cutting. The result is that jagged and irregular edge. I love the effect. I use it a lot for vegetation, and anytime I want an unpredictable “zigzag.” See a class example at http://adventurequilter.com/just-a-few-hours-of-progress/
Yes, try it Lif. It’s easy and it adds a lot of bling.
