One of the classes that I taught on the Alaskan cruise was my new pattern Seaside Village (you can get this pattern and kit on my website). We had a great day of designing and making our tops. We were all cruise acclimated by the time of this class and had been on the ship long…

I love to make and use gradated fabrics. I love doing gradations from one color to another to create beautiful multi colored fabrics and then using them to create my art quilts. Blue Sunset Pines is a perfect example of just that. I started with my Blue Sunset gradated fabric, this fabric starts out yellow…
The great thing about fusing art quilts is that you can use your fused scraps right up to the very last little bit. I am currently working on making a few Tiny Landscapes. Here is my drawing of this little landscape, Trees on the Hill. I drew it up so that I could keep my…
