I loved making this quilt and I’m VERY happy with the results! I dyed all the fabrics for this quilt, except for one. I love how they go together! (Note: I didn’t dye them specifically to go together. They’re ones I’ve dyed over a couple of years, but because I’m often drawn to the same…
I was really happy with the way my latest brown quilt was coming together. It was time to add in some curves. Yes, that was more interesting. Now what? I knew that massing colors together is often effective. So maybe I could add some dark ones near the bottom circle piece. Yes, something along these…
Have you been following along as I’ve used my “Tetris” skills to put this quilt together? I’m calling it Adrenaline Rush. Adrenaline Rush It was challenging at times, but I’m quite happy with the results. I dyed/printed all the fabrics myself! See full details for this piece. UPDATE: This piece got one more radical change. See…
After trying several temporary background colors, I decided to make one side white and one side red. I started with a new temporary background. The purpose of this is so I don’t have to compose against my pure white design wall. It helps me visualize. This was first stab at a new composition. I could…
I was excited to work with the red and blue-green fabric I had recently died. I pulled out all my other dyed fabrics in those colors and began to explore my options. This was the starting fabric. As you can see above, it was missing a chunk on the bottom right corner. So I evened…
These were the fabrics I selected as I started on an abstract quilt with NO plan. Although I didn’t have a plan, I did have a goal. I wanted to use the last of my favorite fabric, the navy and yellow grid, and to let it be the star of the show. BTW, can you…
Remember that ugly exercise that I’ve been considering? This is the portion of my ugly painted which I selected as my inspiration for a small quilt. I played around with the individual elements in the computer and, at one point, accidentally colored the background red. Which I liked! So, I started pulling fabrics and got…
After making Potager Garden, I had quite a few scraps left over, so I decided to use them to make a small quilt. This is what I had to work with. I began to move them around to see how they might fit together. I didn’t like this first version, though. I thought it needed more yellow,…
I was really impressed with the “Stitched, Stamped, and Sculpted” exhibit opening, which was recently held in Ormond Beach, FL. The pieces were hung nicely and lit beautifully. And, in most cases, all the work by one artist was shown together. This made for a lovely and interesting display. Here I am with a couple…

The exhibit will run through August 22nd. And, if you’re in the…
