Illinois Quilters Inc. (IQI) offered a foundation paper piecing workshop with Allie McCathren. The project was a deco tile, reminiscent of the Art Deco style. I enjoy paper piecing but had not worked with such small line pieces before, so that was a challenge.

This is an improvisational quilt inspired by Japanese proportions of design. Improv quilts do not have set patterns. The quilter designs the quilt as he/she goes along, piecing, sewing and rearranging the blocks until a harmonious design emerges.

The striped fabric inspired me to choose a variety of Cherrywood solids and put them together in a simple half rectangle pattern that appears to tilt in different directions.

The second in my series of experiments with curves and transparencies. Each color is transformed by the layers above and below, and the results remind me of geologic layers.

This piece came to me through guidance. When I added the Milagros, which means ‘miracles’ in Spanish, this piece took on a spiritual meaning. Milagros have been used for over 4,000 years to offer protection, healing, or to express gratitude for granted miracles. The hands act as an invitation to the viewer.
