She could see the possibilities (8” x 10”)

I’m participating in the Sew,Mama,Sew! May Giveaway Day. You could be the lucky recipient of one of these two art quilts.

She let her inner artist explore (6” x 10”)

Each art quilt started as a painting that was scanned and printed onto cotton fabric. The prints were then embellished with thread doodling and buttons.

I love to thread doodle (free motion quilting) but my stitching is rarely perfect so I usually cover the stitching with the quilt backing as I did for She let her inner artist explore. However, lately I’ve taken a more ‘perfectly imperfect’ view of my quilts and let the stitching show. For ‘She could see the possibilities’ the stitches are visible on the back – it’s not perfect but I am learning and part of learning is embracing mistakes – even is those mistakes are a bit of messy stitching on the back of my quilt.

Leave a comment by midnight Alaska time on May 25th and I’ll randomly select 2 winner (one for each quilt). I’d love hear about the skills you are learning or perfecting.

    I’d love to hang her over my sewing machine. I’m sure she’d give me some inspiration. I’ve improved my French seams this spring.

  4. I love your freedom of expression on great ideas. Lately, I’ve been learning to cook. Photography is currently my main artistic exploration. I would love to display one of your quilts in my home!
