My quilt “Breaking Rules” was just juried into a regional SAQA traveling exhibition. My artist statement: Picasso said… break the rules. There’s an old wooden ruler from a Wyoming creamery attached to the quilt. “Make it a rule to drink a quart of milk every day. How do you measure up?”

I hand pieced one but I like the better durability of machine piecing. It’s the FEEL of hand quilting that just lights my jets. Here’s the latest.

I’m too chaotic to create a quilt using a pattern! Directions—Ugg! Start just to the right of the center of a design wall. Make some little blocks and strips. Build out. Yeeeee… (Or use a pattern that says you and be you.) either way, yea for making quilts!

Here’s my super simple throw that became magically comfy when I hand quilted it. I could feel it taking on character as I got closer and closer to completing the quilting. It has an Italian linen backing that came on a roll from an upholstery shop. Amazingly soft and substantial weight.

Luscious! Hey, I have 8 hexi concentric blocks finished in a variety of solid combinations. Any ideas for assembly that is NOT traditional? I’d love a funky colorful throw with modern vibes.
