It's Day 4 of the FB Art challenge. Today I'm sharing three of my quilts that hold a special place in my heart. Each of these have been displayed at Paducah. Each is my own design. I used trapunto in each design and Sunflower Stars was the first time I'd attempted that technique and it was the first quilt I entered at Paducah. I now teach the trapunto technique to others. The best lesson I've learned is to always strive to undertake something new or perfect a technique that you love.

Ok, it's Day #3 of the FB art challenge. My how time flies! :-) Today, I'm sharing some of my computer generated art. These are renderings I created in a program called Autodesk 3ds Max. It is used by engineers and architects to create renderings (images) of their CAD drawings. You see a lot of this type of thing on home improvement shows. It's a graphics and animation program used to not only produce photorealistic renderings such as these; but also, to create special effects and animati...

It's Day #2 of the FB art challenge. I skipped a couple of days as I wasn't home, so I'll pick up where I left off. On Day 1, I shared some sculptures and fabric painting I did in the 70s. Today, I'm sharing some photos of a few quilts I quilted several years ago on my domestic sewing machine before I got my longarm. I like these because they were the first quilts where I didn't do just straight line stitching and where I realized I loved the process of quilting more than piecing. The two a...

Its time for Day #1 of the FB art challenge thanks to Elizabeth Karnes! Each day for 5 days we are to post three photos of our artwork as well as nominate someone to join in the project if they so wish. I nominate LynnEl Springer to participate if you wish. Below are three photos of some items I made many many years ago - none are quilt related. The head sculpture and the vase were made in art class way back in 1973/74. I don't have any of my drawings or paintings from then, but do have a...

Lovely quilt, pieced by Mary Madoni and quilted by me. Mary promptly picked this one up, so I didn't get much time with it after I took it off the frame. One of my favorites of hers. I don't know the name of the pattern, so I called it Window Panes.

A cool quilt, pieced by Diane Myatt Wheeler and quilted by me. I was able to find a way to quilt the "boxed feathers" in one pass. I like how this one turned out.

Finally back to quilting. Dishwasher sprung a leak and I had to tear out kitchen floor, dry everything out which took 6 days, and then have new flooring, dishwaher, and disposal installed. Got a new backsplash out of the deal, too; but it put a serious crimp in my quilting time

The laminate flooring is installed, waiting to get the trim installed. In the meantime, my frame is dismantled; so, I am getting some quilt tops of my own worked on while I wait for things to get back to normal.
