I thought I would give an update on my new Poppy Pod quilt. The background is stitched and I've begun the stitching poppy. I'm so, excited to add the voila. Hope you enjoy following along. #quiltsky#unmarkedfreemotionquilting#artquilt#paintedquilt

I’ve started the stitching on my Poppy Pods. I love the texture achieved with the bits of batiks that make up the confetti background. I wanted an inky black and that is what I got! Enjoy

Here are a few images of my poppy pod as I turned the edges making it into a large appliqué readying it to be the centerpiece of my next art quilt. Just waiting on the black batiks and I will create the background. Until then, enjoy.😊 #quiltsky#artquilt#fiberart#artsky#artists:trending#surfacedesign

I started to paint on my new Holiday Poinsettia. It's an approx. 40"w x 50"l. It's been awhile since I have shown process pics of a project. I hope you enjoy as I bring this Red Beauty to life. I think it will be called "Red She Said" #quiltsky #artquilt #paintedquilt #surfacedesign #art #quilt

Thought I would show a process pic of the intense stitching on my small quilt, “ Begonia Swirl”. I move the fabric under the needle using unmarked free motion quilting techniques. Very relaxing to me. I love how the thread makes it come to life. Project sample for Road2Ca painting on silk workshop.
