I now have so much fabric, I feel obligated to do something with it before it takes over the entire house. So I am doing a lot of quilting these days. One of my self imposed guidelines requires each quilt include some original art and/or photograph, which further expands the fabric library. The top two images are for a giant quilt tentatively called "Birdmen of Marin," because it will ultimately include 80 2x2 photos that I shot in and around Marin County, combined with 4 wooden artist model photos done in an applique rose fabric + some original bird art. The third image down is for a different quilt of funky birds in primary colors. The one featured here is blue. The final in process quilt depicted here is called "Magnolia from Bud to Flower" and includes magnolia photos printed on silk, then cut up, together with some applique magnolia buds and flowers in a mix of cotton and silk that is still being worked on.
