Designer Notes

We've all experienced the arts in our lives. Music, dance, poetry, paint, and so on. Some of us have performed music or dance, while others have dabbled (or excelled in) painting. There are also many of us who have simply enjoyed watching, listening, looking, reading. How has your life experience with art influenced your creativity as a fiber artist? And feel free to share a fond memory.

Back in the 80’s with the Folk Art craze, I caught the bug and tried my hand at it. The place where I took my Folk Art classes then offered a class in oil painting. I loved the color and detail that could be achieved with this medium and pursued this avenue to the point of painting a portrait of my daughter Amy Lynn.

God’s amazing garden of flowers have always been a major focus in all my artistic endeavors. Because of a move with job and family, there was no longer time for my creative side. Then in 2001 when my mother passed, I gathered her floral hankies and was inspired to make them into a quilt. Quilt making and designing became my new avenue of expression. What a joy to show off my garden of blooms year round. Seasons come and go, but my home is always blossoming.

From a very early age I have been intrigued by color and took every art class available. I always enjoyed experimenting with color and was always amazed at the impact color has on a project or design. So along with my desire to always be creating something and my love of color it was a natural progression toward the quilting world.
