Between one project and another, Alexia has finished her little wall hanging. This little piece has been important in her quilting experience because it has involved learning new techniques. To begin, the background fabric was one of the pieces she prepared with tie dyeing. She added a few tiny scraps of fabric and ribbon in a variation of one of my methods for fabric collage. And then she free motion quilted it all by herself. She’s an old pro at appliqué, so that doesn’t count. 🙂 All I helped her with on this piece was the binding – that might just be on our list for next summer! Anyway, I think she did a fantastic job. More importantly, she’s so pleased with her project!

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.
