Art Quilting

4/3/2015

I made an art quilt using the crayon block that I showed you a couple of weeks ago. I added some of my hand dyed fabric and finished her up earlier this week. This time I used machine free motion stitching to add details. Next time I may use some hand stitching to add even more details, especially to the flowers.

Now I just need a name for her and to add a hanging sleeve to the back.
Enjoy this blessed Easter weekend.

I have a loving husband who thinks I'm a bit crazy to be so obsessed with art. I am a mother of five children from ages 21 to 5. I spend most of my time mothering and keeping house. In my free time I like to play with textiles, art journaling and painting. I have a degree in textile and apparel studies with a design focus. Right now I am more interested in fiber arts than apparel design, but I don't know where my journey will take me.

I love to read and am not often without a book. I love fantasy and science fiction novels. I also love reading a lot of mainstream fiction and historical accounts. Art books and magazines are another favorite of mine.I also dabble in gardening. I want to get out and garden more when my little ones are a bit older and less of a challenge. I enjoy being outside, at least when the weather is nice. I love animals. I also live with two cats.

I live in Alaska with the beauty of the natural world all around me.
