As part of our Dimensional Flowers series I put together a little tutorial this month for 3-D sunflowers. Instead of filing the samples away, I decided instead to put this little wall hanging together. You never know when something like this might come in handy as a little gift…

I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I am learning how to dye my own fabrics and am dabbling with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.

Oh, Angie, this is so cute. I will get this one made up for sure. What a nice little gift for anytime of the year.
If I say so myself, dimensional projects are FUN!
This is the cutest sunflower quiltlet I’ve seen. Thanks for all the wonderful patterns and ideas. If you check out my blog, you will see my version of your “All Things Christmas” quilt. (Go to 2009 achives) I still have to finish the embellishing on the cookies and gingerbread guys, but everyone loves it.
That is really cute, Bev (DeMaria). If you have a Flickr account, maybe you would consider posting it to our group to share with others:

Angie you never cease to amaze me. The upcoming blocks are beautiful and I am intrigued by the “future project” that you have planned. Glad to see that you posted a picture of yourself on your blog. What beautiful long hair you have and I can see from your photo that you are as beautiful outside as you are on the inside.
Thanks for sharing your patterns, your studio and some insight on how you think as a designer/quilter/fiber artist. Looking forward to more of your work and, if I’m lucky, actually being able to get one completed! May you and yours enjoy all the very best that life has to offer.

I really like the sunflowers. Cardinals love to eat sunflower seeds and they always manage to plant a few sunflowrs for me to enjoy.
Love your quilts and your site really nice work.
Hi Angie, Just wanted to let you know how really wonderful I think your new blog is. You just overflow with creative, quality projects and ideas. I appreciate the opportunity to witness your work and do some of it myself. Thanks so much for all of it….
