First of all, welcome to the site, from Tucson Arizona.
Second---LOVE your precious muppets! They made me smile when I scrolled down.
Third - Had to say I had the pleasure of staying in your country for 71/2 years and absolutely loved it--miss it so much I intend to vacation there in a few years :)

I like semi art quilts. Not the ones that look like a mish mash of glaring color. I love the scenic art quilts and real/still life depicted with fabric and thread. Very few traditional quilts gets my attention unless the fabric design and color are outstanding to me.

That is a wonderful quilt. I tried the technique already times. It is so laborious. i gave up. I am too impatient for it. I admire your patience.
In german the technique calls Kaleidoscop. How is the english translation?



I love your quilt too. It is a bargello quilt or?

In which city you lived?
if you decide to come to Bremen, it will a pleasure to me, to show you the sights (and a lot of fabric shops :) )

I didn't find it so, it is called the same thing, or a one block wonder, it is a stack and wack. many names. Most are not done with more than one fabric but I did a landscape with them. I love them, Just need to learn to cut the pieces bigger. I am wondering why you find it laborious? ( I am not patient, I am persistant!)

Spangdahlem/Bitburg (nr Trier) and Zweibrucken. :)

What charming muppet blocks! The delighted the little kid in me. I smiled, I laughed!

I am a beginning quilter. I am starting with the traditional blocks, hand piecing and hand quilting, but at some point I hope to do some contemporary styles and even art quilts.

I'm not one of those who thinks all quilts are automatically art. But a lot of them, including the traditional ones, are art. I also think that some quilts using traditional blocks and motifs have a very contemporary spin.

Like this?

Or this?

Welcome Winnona, and I like your Sesame Street portraits! I make both traditional and contemporaty quilts. Usually, the NEXT one disturbs my sleep for a few nights until I get it started.
