Bloggers Quilt Festival - Autumn 2013

AmysCreativeSide


It's that time of year, when all of us who don't get to go to Quilt Market/Festival can at least have a virtual quilt show of our own.  Thank you to Amy's Creative Side for hosting.  Welcome to anyone who has come over from the Bloggers Quilt Festival website, and thank you for visiting.

This is "Leaf" an art quilt that I finished recently - made as a result of two separate workshops, a couple of years apart. Because there are so many sites to visit, I won't keep you long, but if you are interested in all the details, you can read them here.

  7. Love the subtlety of this piece and how you've combined techniques and put text into it.

    I'll be following for sure because I'm just in Victoria where our chapter of the Modern Quilt Guild is getting underway

  10. Gorgeous! So simple but intricate at the same time. And maple leaves are always close to my heart (I'm from SK. How's the weather out west?)
