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.
Barbara Harms-Up Close and Personal
I've been a painter most of my life.
When I was introduced to quilting, I fell in love, jumping in with both feet. I loved quilting, but began to miss the creative freedom painting offered.
Then, I discovered mixed media art quilting, I was finally home.
My Process & Approach
For me, it's the process of creating that holds the strongest attraction. I love starting with a tiny seed of an idea; vague and blurred around the edges, then I follow where it leads.
My style is fairly loose and instinctual. I don't a great deal of pre-planning.The creative choices are made as I work on a piece, are based on my gut feelings at the time. This can lead to quite a few changes in direction.
The outcome can come as a surprise.
I love that element of surprise.
Sometimes everything just comes together & I think that this is one of my better ones. I can’t wait to show someone. I 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.
