2. Describe your design area, specifically your work
table: what is the best thing about it? The best thing:
the view of my garden. I have lots of windows on the West
and South walls, and my space is light, bright and
beautiful.
3. What set this quilt apart from other recent projects
you have been working on? I don't usually work with a theme
in mind. It was an interesting challenge to make my abstract
quilt convey "magnetic attraction."
4. When you get “stuck” how do you deal with a “design
block”? How do you overcome it? I walk away. I find the
best remedy to "design block" is time. When I come back to
the studio and look at my piece again, I can usually figure
out how to proceed.
5. Do you work on single or multiple projects at the same
time? Single. I like to concentrate my energies on one
piece.
6. What do you hope people take away from your work? A
sense of color(s) flowing across the plane of the quilt.
7. What are the best parts of working on an art quilt:
What are your least favorite parts? The best part: working
out a design. I love to make pieces, place them on the
design wall and start moving them around. The worst: sewing
the facing. Yuk!
8. What art/quilt-related organizations do you belong to?
SAQA, Modern Quilt Guild (Fort Worth Chapter), SDA,
Quilter's Guild of Dallas, AQS, IQA
9. Do you have a preferred color palette? Why? I love
the entire warm side of the color wheel. From yellow to red
violet. Those colors make me very happy.
Can't wait to see your "magnetic attraction" quilt "live and in person"!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda!
DeleteI won't be able to see it in person, so how do I get to see a photo? I work abstractly much of the time so I am very interested to see this quilt!
