I’ve been quilting for about 10 years now and mostly follow patterns. With a small group of women from my guild, we have begun trying to design our own small pieces. Most recently, I thread painted a raspberry and am looking forward to incorporating some found objects in my next project. I’d love this book as another inspiration source.

I started as a traditional artist. Pen, paper, pencil, acrylics were all I needed… that was until my husband bought me a sewing machine. Since I had to justify selling it on ebay (because being a quilter was going to be way too hard…) I used it “just this once” and was hooked! Now I am quilting everything I can. I started with basic piecing, moved on to simple applique, now I am onto complex designs I design myself! I LOVE every process available and am always searching for more!

My latest art journey is to incorporate more fabric into my collage pieces – so much so that I’m not sure if I should call it an art quilt or a fabric and paper collage or a fabric/paper collage . . . blurring the boundaries is a journey unto itself.

Learning how to throw on a wheel was definately a great journey!

artistic journeys – believing that I have something worthwhile to offer, having the guts to take that leap of faith, and starting to teach journaling and watercolor classes. :)

Like others, I agree that pushing our creative boundaries is a continuous process. I enjoy postcard swaps that allow for experimentation in new techniques without a huge commitment to a large project. Looking for inspiration and figuring out how to translate something to fiber also helps stretch my limits. This book looks terrific!

My ongoing artistic journey, otherwise known as life, is to keep stepping out of my comfort zone and try new things. I’m an absolute technique junkie and have to try them all, generally in the form of wearable art. This book looks like a fabulous guide to stepping out of the box.
