Welcome to my blog. Thanks for checking it out. I plan to share (and hope you will want to read) about my rambling explorations of art quilting and some other textile sidetrips I'm taking.
Like many art quilters I started by doing traditional quilts. (You've got to know the rules in order to break the rules, right?) Many years later I'm more interested in marking or dyeing my own fabric. I'm also interested in re-purposed, recycled, or overlooked fabrics. Some of my favorite pieces have been done with fabrics used to wipe up spills after a dyeing session.
I am fortunate enough to have a supportive art quilting community and friends who have their own artistic pursuits. It's lovely to be able to share creative moments. I hope to do some of that here.
Right! I am glad someone else thinks that knowing the rules is a good thing. Someone (Julie?) said that bad design is bad design, at the workshop, and I agree. I think people sometime cover up bad design or technique with lots of stuff glommed on to their quilt.
