Quilty Notes & Updates!
Maximum Halloween
If I could have crammed more Halloween into this quilt, I would have. This is all the Halloween that fits.
Airstream Road Trip Quilt
Even as I pulled out fabrics for this project, long before it was born, I had a picture in my head of one of those vintage Airstream trailers that I’ve made whole Pinterest boards about, even though I will never own one. Like a little gnome hut, made of chrome, my fantasy Airstream was cherry red with lots of glossy oak finishes inside.
Moon Bunnies Quilt
Today I want to share the Moon Bunnies quilt that I made using beautiful Art Gallery fabrics, mostly from collections designed by Maureen Cracknell, whose moon bunny print from her Nightfall collection was the central inspiration.
Rainbow Magnum Opus
This massive gradient rainbow star quilt was handcrafted with a huge variety of modern designer fabrics for a custom order, and photographed at Esalen, in Big Sur, CA.
In the beginning
While working on the monochromatic minimalist quilt, I must have been subconsciously sending a message into the universe to send me the exact opposite of that palette to me somehow. And it worked. And now the very next piece I’m tasked with creating contains no part of the grayscale. I have put away my black, pewter, and charcoal solids and am now completely buried in saturated color prints in 24 hues and a large number of yellow stars.
Monochromatic Ambidextrous Minimalist Travel Quilt
I had a unique request (my favorite kind) to make a custom quilt for a custom van, perfect for road trips. It was too hard to choose between flying geese (triangles) and a big bold graphic X, so we decided that I would try to do both, one on the front, one on the back, like a mullet quilt, but with a party in the front and a different, but clearly related, party on the back.
Quilt for Future Scientists
This twin bespoke quilt started as an order for a space quilt for a nephew who was very interested in rockets and such. The pattern (Rapid City Quilt, by Elizabeth Hartman) was suggested and approved as appropriately modern and masculine, and I set about ordering some astronautical fabrics.
