I have been making art quilts since 2008. Due to 5 back surgeries, I find it very hard to make larger quilts. I love to dye my own fabrics with Procion dyes and do Shibori techniques while dyeing. I utilize these fabrics, beads, Angelina fibers, yarns,
felting these fibers with my Huskvarna small felting machine. I also dye and paint batting, and capture fibers under tule and FMQ over them (See artist Noriko Endo). I also love to paint and heat shrink Tyvek. If you are at all interested in "playing" I would suggest Quilting Arts Magazine. THey are also on public television - but not now - check your DVR. Also, Quilting Arts TV website has hundreds of projects with instruction and photos from the past 10 years. THese are free. Great resource. Sorry, no photos right now...hard drive is in the shop since this AM. Hope she is not too sick...happy quilting.
