1. Did the change in dimensions present any specific challenges for you? I enjoyed the size change. It didn't present any challenges for me.
2. Describe your design area, specifically your work
table: what is the best thing about it? Years ago I sold a
collection of blue Wedgwood Jasperware my aunt left me and
used the proceeds to buy a large cutting table with drawers
and folding leaves. The best part is the height and surface
area, and the fact that I can fold the leaves down if I need
to. I also have a large piece of flannel-covered insulation
as a design wall.
3. What set this quilt apart from other recent projects
you have been working on? I've been taking art classes
recently, so I used paint on this quilt, something I hope to
do more of in the future.
4. When you get “stuck” how do you deal with a “design
block”? How do you overcome it? To get over a block, I look
through my digital photographs for inspiration. Or for a
themed exhibit such as this one, I might search the Internet
for ideas related to the definition of the theme.
5. Do you work on single or multiple projects at the same
time? I work on a single project at a time; however I do
have an inventory of unfinished pieces!
6. What do you hope people take away from your work? I
hope that people remember our Founding Fathers and the
sacrifices they made in order to form a new country.
7. What are the best parts of working on an art quilt:
What are your least favorite parts? The best part for me is
trying to incorporate a novel technique into my artwork, or
to let a technique inspire an idea. My least favorite part
is adding a label and a sleeve!
8. What art/quilt-related organizations do you belong
to? Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) and a group of eight
women who meet six times a year to share our art and art
quilts.
9. Do you have a preferred color palette? Why? I love
green. There are more variations of green than any other
color. That's probably why I love it.
