What's happing in the studio this spring?

 In between filling orders, teaching classes and quilting...here are a few new little works that are starting to come alive in my studio... 

Coloring with Inktense:

The birds have been busy and happy to pose (for nuts) for me to create some fun new twice painted wall hangings...soon it will be time to add some threads!

And playing with creating some skys inspired by Gloria Loughman, I am working on making a landscape for my latest needle felted bison to wander freely...

Next up is to focus on adding some texture to the foreground 

before he decides if he will be happy enough to hang around!

A Quilted Journey to Bunny Town

Part of the joys of quilting for others is getting to play on the canvas they create. There isn't enough time in the day to make all the fun quilts that I wish I could, so at least in this way I have the opportunity to quilting on the fruits of their labor. 

Made by Denise Wright Eckhardt

In this fun quilt called Bunny Town from The Quilt Company, I explored with creating different textures in the backgrounds of the cute whimsical blocks. 

I mean...who doesn't love a quilted carrot?

If you want to see this quilt up close and personal, it will be hanging at the upcoming Teakettle Quilt Show in Columbia Falls April 15th.
