I started out a more traditional quilter, but quickly found art quilts. The fish is from an Alzheimer fund raiser that was auctioned by Aimee Simms a few years ago. My Aunt Rosie died of Alzheimers and she took me fishing in the 1950s. The other picture is a quilt using a picture of me around 3 years old in early 1950s. I got it started in a workshop with Ruth McDowell. I could fall asleep anywhere. The doll is a rag doll with no face that my Mom made for me.

Lovely, thanks for sharing.

The fractured abstract-y quilt is really, really interesting.

I'll have to go look at her technique for this.
I have her earlier books.

Very nice. Thanks for posting.

I think it was mostly her Piecing: Expanding the Basics book. I had tried to do some of the odd shapes in a previous quilt and the workshop helped me with that as well.

Beautiful work!

Neat

That is absolutely stunning.

Love the fish!

Welcome from New York and thanks for sharing your beautiful art quilts.

Hello! I was born at Bixby Hospital and lived there until I joined the Army in 1974.

Great work. Enjoy the message board.

Yesterday I realized that some of my pictures were not on this computer, but on another one. So, I grabbed a couple of them. Here is the Easy Sleep of the Young finished (the earlier one was in progress), my Heros of Texas that I too late discovered Ruth McDowell piecing methods for, and Whirligig which was using my saved strings from the washer from all the hand dyed fabric I did over about 6 months.

Ruth McDowell got me started on art quilts in the '90s at a retreat in Sisters, Oregon. They are still my passion! Glad to have you on the Board, from Los Angeles.
