For Quilts Sake

I'm inspired by everything around me: patterns in the trees and the leaves, designs in a tile floor, the shape of a wave. Sometimes I get an idea like a flash and other times the fabrics tell me what they want to be.

What interests me about traditional quilting is how a quilt square can look completely different if the shapes that make up the square are in different colors or tones of the fabric. I am also fascinated by the secondary patterns that emerge when quilt blocks are arranged together.

I find that I am moving toward creating quilts that are more "art quilts" and less traditional. I'm intrigued by using fabric to interpret my ideas and how the arrangement of colors and patterns come in to play.

On way to see what I've been working on is to visit my personal web site.
