Painting Nature Quilts

Using my quilts as examples, I will discuss the versatile techniques of painting and soft-edge machine appliqué. These Techniques allow a very free, organic approach to designing which can then be combined with more geometric methods of construction. In my quilts, I use the coast as my inspiration with beaches, barns, kelp and flowers.
 

Painted and Quilted Artworks in Series

For the past several years, I have worked on a series of quilts using my personal landscape environment as inspiration. In this lecture I share my early work and show how I have progressed to my present quilts.

 

Breaking the Rules

Since learning to quilt, I have begun to realize, I now break most of the rules I learned. In this lecture, I will talk about those and why I do it.

Travel Costs

For local lectures or workshops 0.485* cents per mile (from Soquel) round trip is charged. Overnight stays require room and board, but housing in a non-smoking, non-cat owning members home is fine. Long distance travel requires airfare, transportation to and from the airport, and airporter fare.

* Transportation prices may change to reflect current market standards.
