Butterflies and Flowers
I am so excited to be able to publish my Block of the Month program and it is perfect for Spring! If you love butterflies, then you'll love this quilt too. I made this quilt for my granddaughter Amy as she just loves butterflies which is the theme for her bedroom.
An Important Aspect of Quilts
Perspective is an important aspect of pictorial quilts whether they are a landscape or still life and geometric quilts. The use of various forms of perspective can enhance the depth of the image making it more dramatic and creates the illusion of being three dimensional.
Abstract is a wonderful word
Abstract is a wonderful word because it has many different subtle meanings. It can be a verb, a noun or an adjective.
Landscapes from Scraps
With all of the beautiful fall colors happening at this time of the year there is an amazing amount of possible photos that could be used to make a beautiful landscape quilt. This particular one Marilyn Lee captured. You cannot get much more beautiful than that!
Quilt Enhancing
There are several of Daphne Greig's quilts below. Do you know what she used to enhance them, AFTER the quilting was completed?
Breathtaking Fabric Portraits
Nine amazing textile portraits have hit social media by storm you could say... and I'm not surprised. These portraits are so real like that you wouldn't imagine they were made of fabrics. Marilyn Belford made her first portrait of her parents (shown top left) back in 1999, she has gone on to make many more wonderful portraits as well as other art quilts. She is one very talented lady!
Yosemite Falls, Sandy Beaches or Simple Waves...
"Waves and Waterfalls" is about to begin again - I do hope you join in and make these pieces with me, because what's a party without people?
The Modern Quilt
In the 21st century, the “modern quilt” became a movement or style of quilts in its own right.
Feeling the Heat of Summer? Winter will be here before you know it!
Yes, we know it is the heat of the summer, but winter will be here before you know it, and we will once again be up to our eyes in snow. This past winter in California was unbelievably snowy, so let’s put on our winter coats and think SNOW!
