Seasonal Palette – Final!

This piece is done! I like it. I will feature it on my upcoming Stitch & Slash Craftsy class and then send it off to travel the country in the SAQA Seasonal Palette exhibit. Here’s a photo and some details of the machine stitching.

Seasonal Palette 18

So here’s the next step. I’m revealing the purple and like it a lot. Now I have to decide how to add the decorative machine stitching. I was thinking of adding white thread to stitch over the purple but my critique group felt it would complicate my design. I have decided to cut away the purple background underneath the white to brighten the piece. That’s the next step and I’ll decide where to go from there. One decision at a time.

Featured in Quilter’s Newsletter

Several of months ago, I was contacted by one of the editors of Quilter’s Newsletter who had visited my one-woman show at the Mancuso “Denver National Quilt Festival” last year. She wanted to know if they could create a pattern for my Undulation quilt. Of course I said yes and they just sent me a PDF of the opening page of the pattern they created from my art. The pattern will appear in the April/May issue and subscribers will receive it at the end of February and newsstand copies will be available on March 13th. I’m excited to see how they “patterned” my quilt since I didn’t use a pattern myself! Click on this link to see the quilt!

Teaching at Houston!

I just got an invitation to teach my Stupendous Stitching class at the International Quilt Festival in Houston this year. I’m excited to be at this prestigious event. My all-day class will be held on October 29th (my birthday!) so if you are planning to go to this festival, please think about taking my class. I guarantee you will have fun and learn a lot!

Seasonal Palette 17

Whew! Felt good to cut away all that yellow. It was giving me a headache! Now, the piece is getting more interesting to me. I’m liking the lines made by the “spring like” fabric and the contrast of the deep purple. I could leave it like this but I think it’s still a little too boring. I think I will reveal the purple in the outer circles of the larger circles and see where I’m at.
