Art quilts are my passion. I love the idea of blending art with textiles, and the results are so unique. The process is fascinating for me, which makes the creation of art quilts a huge part of my quilting journey.

What I love most about art quilts is that it can be so experimental. The art quilt I created that shows the lifecycle of the monarch butterfly, for example, was an experiment into using acrylic paint on fabric.
As I develop my interests and explore different techniques, I am beginning to create art quilts that are a blend of painted art, fabric collage, and thread painting. By mixing media I am able to achieve the visual results I want. In the robin I am working on, I started with painting the bird using acrylic, then developed the setting with fabric collage.
