New Art Quilts (!!!)
Hi all! It is frustrating sometimes to be working, working, working, and feel like I can’t really share stuff yet! In this instance, I finished writing my next article for Machine Quilting Unlimited (click here for more info on the magazine), which will be on negative space (basically, the spaces between….alas you’ll have to wait for the magazine to come out to learn more!).
For the magazine, I decided to use one of the exercises I illustrated to make a design which I then used as a quilting motif, and made a small wholecloth quilt. The picture above is a detail photo….you’ll have to wait for the design, but I’ve decided to upload it to my blog/website as a free pdf for folks to download when the article is published in July…let’s hope that I can get the pdf thing to work!
Anyway, I totally love how this little quilt turned out and think I may enter it in an art quilt show this summer.
I also needed an alternative to the photo/illustration I intended to use in a different part of the article. I had hoped that I could repeat an image from one article (in the April issue) to the next to illustrate my points…both to save on work, but mostly to show that the design principles I’m teaching are all interrelated. Alas, no go. So I whipped out a new sample, and here’s another detail:
I really like this one… it would work well for traditional quilters, and art quilters can really soup it up….hope you like it!

[…] while back, I shared a tiny tease from Little Brown Bird, a small wholecloth art quilt here. Well, here is all 16×20 inches (or thereabouts) of […]
