About four years ago I figured out that ideas were moving into my brain faster than the hands could work them out. So I took the leap from hand quilting purist to machine quilting adventurer. I rediscovered the piece picture below, in a cupboard recently. It was one of the first pieces I played with… Continue reading Fire season and machine quilting…

The fiber before the photograph
Here is a tease for a new piece in the Photograph and Fiber series. It is a painted whole cloth. Now the quilting begins. When it is finished and I know where it is headed I’ll post it again.

Elements and joy!
