Quilt It-today
Quilt It -today magazine has featured my “Early Birds” wallhanging in it’s Spring issue (March-April 2014), in Gathering Inspiration!
“Early Birds” was created for International Quilt Festival’s “Celebrate Spring” contest and it won Best of Show that year! It is owned by the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection.
Recently I attended a local art group gathering and we spent the evening dying fabric using baggies and a microwave oven – instant gratification!! I was specifically trying to come up with a fabric that might go with the scrap (shown) from the sky of the dog quilt that I am currently working on. The results were not really what I was after, but perhaps some of it will work. If not in this quilt, somewhere else. It’s always fun to see what you get, but I do not have the knowledge or control for predictable results!
Speaking of the dog quilt—I found out that I am not allowed to post pictures of it beyond what I have already done. So no more updates on that for now.

Wow, Early Birds is terrific, and what a coincidence. I have in mind a robin picture for my project in your class at Empty Spools in a couple of weeks. The picture is a small cropped out piece of a photo I took, so the resolution is terrible and I will be using my imagination to fill in the details.
