I’ve been busy busy trying to get some of the projects I’m working on finished.

Here is one example of 2 quilts I’ve started. This first one is a textile wall hanging. It obviously has quite a way to go.

Below is one of a trio of 3 daisy themed framed art quilts designed to work together as a grouping. I’ll show you more later. This is the beginning of one of the 3. I’ll show more about these later.

I’ve got quite a few projects to share in future posts

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. View more posts
