My Train Jumped the Track
I was making good progress on my two large leaf quilts when I got BADLY distracted. The culprit was the book Serendipity, by Susan Carlson. In it she explains her fabric collage techniques. In many ways they’re the same as my own, but with a much higher level of tiny details. It was all SO…
“And the Band Plays On”
Here’s my latest little art quilt, And the Band Plays On. I made it as donation for a SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates,) fundraiser which required a size of 12″ x 12″. Fortunately, I had some leftover units from this quilt, which I used as a starting point. After that, it came together easily. I…

I wanted to participate but was a little pressed for time. Therefore, I decided to revisit an earlier quilt idea. I decided to…
