Sea Glass I & II 9 x 12½ I was concerned that the dense quilting in the white areas would make the “glass” part of the quilt pucker. A heavy interfacing behind the batting seems to have worked well to prevent this.
I have some older Hoffman fabric that looks like shallow water over sand. I was thinking that would be perfect for appliqueing beach glass. Could even cover it with something watercolored and sheer as well. But, I do like the white one - quilting looks perfect to me.
Both quilts captured my attention; both are very pleasing with their balance, one with quilting and the other with color. What creativity you have! My daughter works with stained glass and will also enjoy these. Thank you for sharing with us. Kathleen
On this blog you will find my latest textile art, my inspirations, and processes. I have always loved drawing, painting, sewing, and creating. I've been sewing nearly as long as I can remember. I majored in Computer Science in college, but took many painting and drawing classes as well. I started pursuing my art more seriously when I discovered that I could combine it with the quilting skills I had acquired. Textile art has been a wonderful way to combine many of things that I love.

I think the quilting is perfectly complimentary! I love both of these.

Your art is all exquisite. I saw them all. Lots of inspiration here as I am an art quilter too.
