Upcycled Fabrics - Endless Shades of Orange - Upcycling means transforming discarded materials into something beautiful and useful. This concept has always resonated with me, as it embodies creativity, sustainability, and resourcefulness. I am challenging myself to see how many different things I can create with the orange fabrics that I am finding.

Something practical this week, summer crumb patchwork placemats. I found some summer crumb pieces and I decided not to store pieces anymore. Rather to create finished items and keep if I need, and gift the rest - Life is too short to hoard.

As an art quilter, nothing brings me more joy than seeing the excitement on my students' faces when they dive into the creative process....

Creating art has always been a refuge for me, a space where I can express my feelings and ideas through colors and textures. The students had asked me to create a technique for an art quilt but they didn't want to have to iron at all. So I created my Strip Collage Patchwork. This method is wonderfully freeing, requiring no ironing or precision. Instead, it invites a playful approach to assembling fabric pieces into beautiful creations.
