I see myself as a mix of a crafter and an artist. I do both. Therefore I don't decide between these two and call myself a quilter - to be exact, handquilter.
My work is very traditional and I love to use the traditional patterns in a very traditional way - anyway every quilt is different. I enjoy the process of handquilting more than the final product/quilt. In my quilts I see and create things like beauty, balance, contrast and uniformity, order and clearness - characters I sometimes miss in my own personality.
Some quilts I like, some not. Some I consider as art, some not. It's just my personal point of view.
I don't aim for doing art. I just do quilts.
