I have a finished quilt, sewn from the beautiful black and white circle segment blocks of our Improv Bee #beeoffthecuff I finished it today and already like it very, very much.

Thank you so much, once again it was a pleasure to work with you, Alex, Andrea, Claudia, Eva, Mara and Petra.

I've been sewing patchwork and quilting clothes since around 2017… #quiltsky

For the last two months I was the queen of our German Improv Bee beeoffthecuff

Each of us was to sew a circle segment. The background was to be black, the motif white. I asked for graphic, angular, abstract, uneven slivers.

The blocks from left to right: Mara, Andrea, Claudia, Alex, Eva and Petra

And these two quilts will be hanging at QuiltCon 2025.

Please say hi to them if you see them. I would be happy if you send pictures or tag me, because unfortunately I won’t be there this year. I will miss the lovely atmosphere and the friendly, colorful variety of quilters.

I’ve seen some personal QuiltCon retrospectives and found them to be a nice, positive distraction in these anxiety-inducing times. Here are my quilts at QuiltCon 2024:

Colors in dark times. I use solids in shades of green, blue, turquoise and brown to embellish a plain gray sweater.

Farben in dunklen Zeiten. Ich benutze Solids in Grün-, Blau-, Türkis- und Brauntönen, um einen einfachen grauen Sweater zu verschönern.

When the worries and sadness become so great that I don't know how to bear them, I create something. This is my attempt to cope. It may seem trivial, but I don't know any other way.

My first attempt at the Kawandi technique.

One of my favorite techniques is English paper piecing. It’s just amazing what shapes you can make with it. Shown here on a map quilt.

Eine meiner liebsten Techniken ist English Paper Piecing. Einfach toll, welche Formen man damit herstellen kann. Hier gezeigt an einem Map Quilt.

Hi! Clara here. This is my latest quilt, Harrison Map. This hand sewn quilt shows the little town in Westchester County, New York where I lived for four years. This summer I moved back to Berlin, Germany. I am an architect and a modern quilter and member of the Rhein Modern Quilt Guild…

Saw textile artist Joke Amusan‘s exhibit „From Here to There: Stitched Connections“ at the MUJI Flagship Store in Berlin today. I love her work.
