    Theres a little old lady on youtube.com that occasionally makes a quilt online. Her quilts are unique and different. I purchased the last one she made and its amazing. Even if you don't like art quilts watching her thought process is very interesting to me. She's 81, retired college professor, travels the world, plays the harpsacord and is just amazing. Well she to many is weird. Any way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lGTvZhweo8 give her a look even if you don't like art quilts. She breaks all the quilt rules. How she gets this one to lay flat is beyond me! If for some reason that link doesnt work her youtube name is atree3.

    Does she have a real name? I mean, does she sell or show her work under her real name somewhere, either online or not, in a non-video format?

    Looks like she's starting with great fabric.

    As someone who has taken apart over 300 kimono, my sympathies are with her. ;-)

    She is fascinating! Yes a little weird...but aren't we all to some extent? Would love to attend one of her parties to just sit back and watch and listen to her and her friends! I'm loving that quilt...her process to get there is really fun - and thought-provoking - to watch!

    Margaret Fabrizio is her name and she has a website of her works, she's an artist. You'll need to google her name because I don't have a link.

    She invited me to the unveiling of the last quilt, which I bought. But I had vacation planned that week and couldn't go.
    She has a few vids of her parties, and they are different.

    Thanks for sharing that link - I'm hooked watching her now...she's definitely a character, and it's very interesting to hear and see her approach to quilting!
