There are several new projects I’ll be sharing with you. As much as I enjoy making each art quilt I do, this one has meant the most to me. The reason, it’s a gift for a friend and that’s the best kind of quilt to make.
A PROLOGE TO MY STORY
I just finished it. When I gave it to her, I discovered she has a collection of little antique porcelain kittens that look very much like the ones in this quilt. I was thrilled.
I think she really liked it and that was my biggest satisfaction, to see her smile. I sure did enjoy making it for her, as I worked, hoping to see that smile.
Aren’t these the cutest kittens? They look vintage and I love the colors. Thanks for stopping in to take a look at my kitty cat quilt.
I’ll post more as I finish them, I’m in a quilting frenzy and loving it!
Oh I forgot to tell you, I’m having a really good sale on my new website I’m hoping you’ll come see me & support it, I’ve marked quite a few quilts down considerably.
About Myself & My Approach
Art has always played a role in my life, in one form or another. by my teens I had narrowed my focus to painting. I decided I was going to become a serious painter. I joined the Las Vegas Artist's Guild at 15, the youngest member at that time. I was completely out of place, I tried to go unnoticed, a mute fly on the wall, with a big smile pasted on my face.
I've continued to paint most of my life.
After a move to Oregon years later, I was introduced to quilting and fell in love.
I was introduced to quilting & fell in love.
In time I missed the creative freedom painting made possible.
Then I discovered mixed media fiber art, I was home.
MY APPROACH TO ART
It's the creative process that holds the greatest attraction for me. Starting with a tiny seed of an idea; vague and blurred around the edges, I follow where that leads. There are often many changes and adjustments along the way. The result can often be surprizing.
My approach is an instinctual one. Generally, I do little pre-planning. I make creative decisions, choices, directions as they present themselves.
This approach can lead to quite a few changes in the direction.
I love that element of surprize!
Sometimes I have one that I especially like, I can't wait to show someone.
At that moment l feel like a six year old, running home from school, a drawing in hand, excited to show Mom. At those times. I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat.
Iβve had some of my work published in several magazines. which is exciting. But the most gratifying thing is having clients be really happy with their purchased art quilt.
