Still working on my Poppy Pod Quilt. I almost finished one of the pods. I haven’t fallen off the earth yet but….🤣those spikes almost pushed me over, 😂

I thought I would give an update on my new Poppy Pod quilt. The background is stitched and I've begun the stitching poppy. I'm so, excited to add the voila. Hope you enjoy following along. #quiltsky#unmarkedfreemotionquilting#artquilt#paintedquilt

I’ve started the stitching on my Poppy Pods. I love the texture achieved with the bits of batiks that make up the confetti background. I wanted an inky black and that is what I got! Enjoy

Two more couch quilts bound and ready to send. Both are Yellow Brick Road patterns by Atkinson Designs. It is very effective and there is very little waste which I Appreciate. 30 fat quarters make the top 80” x 91”. The backs are minky cuddle. Very soft. #quiltsky#quilt

Here are a few images of my poppy pod as I turned the edges making it into a large appliqué readying it to be the centerpiece of my next art quilt. Just waiting on the black batiks and I will create the background. Until then, enjoy.😊 #quiltsky#artquilt#fiberart#artsky#artists:trending#surfacedesign

Just finished a king size bed quilt for my daughter/husband. My hands are killing me after putting on the binding. She says it looks like a QR code, lol and loves it. #quilt#yellowbrickroad#quiltsky

Stitching on my new painted quilt”Begonia Swirl”. Medley of pinks and coral colors

Thought I would show a process pic of the intense stitching on my small quilt, “ Begonia Swirl”. I move the fabric under the needle using unmarked free motion quilting techniques. Very relaxing to me. I love how the thread makes it come to life. Project sample for Road2Ca painting on silk workshop.
