Well, I don’t like the taste of tomatoes, but I sure do like the way they look in a quilt.
Here’s Vine Ripened, complete.

This was a fun quilt to make. I think it would look great in a dining room. Purchase information on my website.

Well, after painting those (challenging) fabrics I had to figure out what to do with them. Since I wasn’t crazy about some of them, I knew I’d need to cut isolated portions and motifs for use. I had NO IDEA what my composition might look like, but I started cutting out sections and MINDLESSLY sticking…
When you start 6 pieces in 2001, put them away, take them out and work on them several years later, put them away, and FINALLY finish them 18 years later the title pretty much writes itself: Deja Vu Again. (I’m proud of that one!) It all started in a class with Judy Hooworth way back in…
My week teaching Design Your Own Nature Quilt at Empty Spools Seminar was excellent and my students were fantastic! They brought their creative courage and tried lots of new things – with amazing results. This was Alex’s board for the classroom walk-through. She did the little plant on the left first. She played down the…
I got to spend some time at the AQS show in Daytona Beach last month. I thought you’d enjoy seeing a few of the quilts. A detail shot: There was a nice exhibit of quilts made by Melissa Sobotka, Cynthia England does beautiful work, as these photos show. Look at all those seams! More photos…
When my husband offered to repaint my studio it set quite a few changes in motion. While everything was out of the room, I culled out A LOT of stuff and then organized it all much better when I stored it anew. Then, I got improved lighting as my Christmas present. It now looks and…
It’s not very often that I use the word brilliant when talking about myself. But, in this case, someone else said it first so I’m just agreeing. (Don’t tell my mother.) Does your family spend lots of time thinking up thoughtful and surprising gifts for one another? My family gave up on that long ago….
Wow this is beautiful!!! Love the color combination and your shadow work. Great depth and your perspective is so true to life not an easy feat in quilting. Thank you for such an inspirational piece.
THANKS, Lynne! I had the benefit of a photo for reference. Then, I had LOTS of fun with little bits of fabric!
Gorgeous work. You should make a pattern of it and then build a class around it. I’d sign up in an instant!
Thanks, Degen! Not a bad idea.
Beautiful tomatoes, Ellen! Look good enough to eat 🙂
Thanks, Michelle. I don’t really like the taste of tomatoes, but even I can appreciate their beauty. Especially when caught by low rays of sun.

Hi! I really liked the vines still attached to the tomatoes. The 3-D effect is outstanding.
Thanks, Gretchen. Those twisty leaves/vines are my favorite part.
