In this gallery I will post pictures of quilts that I have made, with information on who I made them for, and whatever else I can think of.

I love making quilts, and every time I finish one I feel satisfied and ready to move on to the next one.  I try to make them suit the people I make them for.

Enjoy

I was reading Marcy Tilton’s newsletter and really like this quote:

“This I know: the act of getting my hands, heart and soul into making & inventing something brings great pleasure. Where there was once a neatly folded flat piece of cloth, suddenly there is a dimensional garment. In spite of setbacks (buttonholes gone bad, unintended puckers, 2 left sleeves…….), I return to the studio with passion and hope. Some days the act of stitching something together, smoothing out wrinkles, shaping an edge, tweaking a pattern, screening in a bit of color, all add together to make a feeling of joy that is almost beyond words. ”

I often try to describe to someone what I get out of sewing, this sums it up so well. I am not at the designer level as Marcy is, but do very much identify with the intent and effect of the creative process that she describes.

Here’s to “joy beyond words” in sewing adventures.
