This piece Kathy titled "Buttons and Bows". Instead of the usual piecing technique, with the inset corners for the bow tie patter. She made a 4 patch, then appliqued the squares, on point to create the bow tie appearance. The border has embroidered stems and leaves, then buttons as the flower heads.. I am telling you her mind is simply amazing.....And this quilt is breathe taking.
Kathy told me when she designed this pattern, she thought about selling the patterns, but she never got that far...I think she should reconsider and go for it....
We are a group of women of different personalities and ages who blend together to make for an interesting and fun group. Our group is dedicated to creating art using various textiles and other mediums. Our interests include sewing, knitting, quilting, doll making, purse making, felting, beading, jewelry making, stained glass, glass blowing, glass fusing, mosaics, and altered books. We share our ideas and our time, to create items that are unusual, traditional and fun. Our fun meter is more important than our gas meter. We fill it at least once a month during our monthly meeting where we have show and tell to show projects we've completed, talk about new projects and share ideas. And the food!! As textile artists we are such lucky people. We find pleasure in simple things; the colors of hand-dyed fabrics, a spool of lustrous thread—we almost hyperventilate when we go through the door of a bead store! How fortunate we are to have passion to create and to achieve such satisfaction in what we do.
