Inspired By
For
a quilt contest (which I didn't enter), this log-cabin block was inspired by the leaf shapes and colors
in an intricately pieced quilt from the 1800s. Quilt includes cotton, denim and
polyester fabrics decorated with vintage, glass and antler beads, thread and
embroidery floss.

Oo-La-La
Born from a crazy quilt class assignment several years ago, this quilt marks my return to beadwork as well as an introduction to working with ribbon. Mr. Crabby Pants says I never know when to stop, and the embellishments here are no exception. I’m surprised, though, to find that people looking at it live and touching seem to enjoy discovering the various stitches.
It will serve as a reference piece as I work on 3 more pieces this size (after I chopped the original in quarters), one of which Mom wants me to create for her as a living room pillow.
