Haven’t posted in a while I know . So…so….busy and this is what I have been doing!
Lately I have been working on many improv projects. Basically this is a technique which I like to also call freeform piecing and quilting. I am definitely loving it! Kinda’ a no rules way of working and the results can be amazing. I am beginning to believe this is my true quilt calling. I have always barked at the traditional ways of quilting. That’s why I guess I ran ( fast too) to ART QUILTING. There I have remained faithly. I have only made three traditional quilts ever. The third ONE I did just recently (a Strip Pieced Quilt) may very well be the last one I do in a traditional style. Don’t get me wrong, I love the beauty of tradional quilts and there is and never will be a substitute for these lovely Quilts. I am however learning to go back some, just in a different way. I am going to be trying some modern throw or lap style quilts. I have several that are ready to go! So we’ll see. The Art Quilt in the picture is the first one in a series of twenty three Art Quilts I have worked on so far. Most of these I’m been pleased with and some I was clearly approaching my learning curve. I haven’t crossed that curve as yet, since I am still in an experimental phase. Twenty three and counting. Oh! I forgot……finally using some of that hugh stash of hand dyed fabrics too.
Exhal……
