I thought I should add some pictures of my work so you get a better idea of who I am.
The quilt on the top is titled "Filigree Stars" and was the answer to the Martin County guild challenge in Florida. The name of the challenge was "Stars, Stars, Stars" and the challenge fabric was lamé. It won Best of Show.
The center quilt was the answer to a challenge issued by an art group I belonged to named Journey's Through Art. The challenge was "doors" and I used a photograph by Rein Nomm as my inspiration. I call it "Faith Alone". It was juried into the Mancuso World Quilt Show-Florida and won Judges Choice (Deidre McElroy was the judge who chose it). It hung in the Port St Lucie, FL Crazy Quilters guild show with all the eight other door quilts from out group and won Vendor's Choice, 1st Place, and all the door quilts won Viewer's Choice.
The Lone Star on the bottom is titled "Solar Storm" and is a Jan Krentz pattern. I've always wanted to do a Lone Star and when I read her book "Lone Star Quilts and Beyond", she made it so easy that I loved doing it! This quilt was juried into the 2011 Mancuso World Quilt Show-Florida, and won Best of Show at the 2011 St. Lucie County fair.
I'm completely honored to have been chosen for all these awards but I don't quilt for just the awards. I LOVE sharing my quilts, ideas, techniques, and art with those who view them and hope they inspire others to share their art as well!
Wow! I love your designs. Very intricate and beautiful. I'm in love with the Filigree Stars quilt!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job! I have one of those twisted lone stars started, maybe it will get finished this year.
