About
I'm originally trained as an architect. I practiced architecture in Texas, focusing primarily on computer-aided design applications. My computer skills led me to web site design, which I decided to focus on after moving back to Wisconsin.
With the economic downturn in 2008 I decided to try my hand at the mosaic quilt style I found in Maxine Rosenthal's book "One Block Wonders." And there was no turning back.
You could say that these quilts are my latest attempt to marry my love of color, form and artistic discovery with my natural tendency towards precision and detail.
The quilts are the result of a process, not a pattern. The kaleidoscopic part of each quilt is cut from a single bolt of fabric. When I buy the fabric I have no idea what the resulting quilt will look like. The process moves in steps, and each step involves exploration and discovery. And each step builds on the previous one. It's only when I get to the very end that I can see each quilt for what it wanted to be.
About The Quilts
The fabric is 100% cotton. The batting is a cotton/polyester blend.
The quilts have been washed and dried once.
The quilts are labeled on the back, at the bottom corner.
The quilts come with four-inch pockets on the back, running the width of the quilt, at both the top and bottom, so they may be hung for display. When the quilt is not hanging, the pockets lay flat and, on every quilt except “Bloom”, are part of an all-around border.
