Machine pieced and hand tied. Quilting for me is like putting a puzzle together. I find pieces that fit and match as I go, not having to follow a specific pattern. It’s my form of meditation and the vibrant colors make me happy.

Book QuiltStaci Raymond
Machine piecing and hand quilting. I like the idea of re-purposing fabrics. I was given all of these scraps from a woman who made fabric covered books. There are so many things to discover in this colorful creation.
Scrap Quilt IIStaci Raymond
Machine pieced and hand quilted. I am very process oriented and don’t have the end result in mind when I work. I like the random haphazardness of each square with the grid structure creating small windows or vignette.
Dinosaurs and Bricks IStaci Raymond
Machine pieced, hand quilted, and hand beading on the surface. Incorporated parts of a found quilt. Dinosaurs and Bricks are a very odd combination that I wanted to explore. The dancing shrimp make it even more fun, but the surface beading was certainly a labor of love.
Untitled IIIStaci Raymond
Machine piecing and hand tied. Untitled III was inspired by my study of African American strip quilts. I enjoyed using a wide range of fabrics including clothing scraps.
