I've been published in Art Quilting Studio

Silk fusion is one of my favourite techniques to work with and in the Summer 2016 edition of Art Quilting Studios there is a three-page article on one of my pieces.  This is silk fibre that was dyed using kool-aid and then stitched to a background of black dupioni silk.

Northern Lights quilts published

I have just received my copy of the Summer 2015 Art Quilting Studio magazine ... with a five-page article on my Northern Lights art quilts.  It is such a delight to see my work in print in such a beautiful magazine.

I was approached by Stampington and Company last year about submitting an article on one of my purses and subsequent to that, about an article on the Northern Lights art quilts.  For this article I sent the art quilts to them in California so that they could photograph them for the magazine.

These are from my Northen Lights series of art quilts that have the sky needle felted to quilt batting and the silhouette of foreground trees is created from cotton batik. They are free motion machine quilted.

Here is a look at the cover of this magazine ...look for it at your specialty magazine shop or quilt shop.

Vintage Textile to Treasured Purse

A few years ago I purchased a piece of handwoven linen at an estate sale and I have used that piece of fabric in several projects since then.  It is fairly coarsely woven so is beautiful to hand stitch and that is just what I did when I created this little purse.

The purse came to the attention of the editor of Art Quilting Studio magazine and I was asked to submit an article and photographs of the purse for their Winter 2014 magazine.  I received the magazine in the mail today to find a beautiful three-page article on this little purse.
