Fruit Stripe Gum Quilt / Quilt #5

Here's is the quilt that I kept talking about...I love this quilt, I think it is so fun!  It's totally the fruit stripe gum quilt to me; do you think the Wrigley corporation will come after me for calling it that?  Hope not.  Can you think of a better name?  I'm open to all suggestions.

Textile Painting vs. Art Quilt

"Dreaming: The Beach" detail, 2008 We artists in this world of textiles, fiber art, quilting go round and round about terms. Is what I do textile painting, fiber art, art quilts, studio art quilts? Why is it important? For one thing, if we are to ever have a broader understanding (perhaps, demand or desire) for our chosen medium, we want that broader public to "get it." Some of us making what have become known as "art quilts" as opposed to "bed quilts" come from traditional quilting... Read Full Story

What is an art quilt?

  Everytime I think that surely the whole world is into art quilts I meet someone who looks puzzled and asks me "huh?" Quilts hung on the wall is sort of part of it, but many people also hang their "traditional" quilts on the wall. And, frankly, I'm not so sure that the borderline between traditional and art quilts is all that clear in the minds of many who even like to tinker in the trappings. I certainly don't want to replay the whole art vs. craft discussion here, nor do I believe... Read Full Story

Revisiting City Blocks

Lately there has been a great deal of interest in our City Blocks Quilt Pattern - lots of Internet searches for it, and sales of the pattern.  It's funny how these cycles work, I'm never sure what drives them, but I'm all for it!  This is such a great pattern, absolutely fab for big bold prints that are too lovely, or special to chop up in little bits.  It's also great for getting your toes wet in regards to working with solids, if this is something that is new to you.  Just think of all of...
