After having so much fun on the last abstract quilt, I’ve started on another one. I’m allowing the first to inspire the second, but making LOTS of changes. This was my starting sketch. I thought I’d probably ROUGHLY copy the background, but with plenty of alterations as they occurred to me. Right off the bat,…
There’s a VERY intriguing exhibit at my local textile museum right now. The word basket really sells these pieces short! Some are utilitarian and beautiful in their simplicity. But others are large and sculptural and amazingly creative. The details to these pieces are extraordinary, so I’m going to show you only one piece. Here it…
