These are just a few of the winning quilts at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. I will add more as when I get to take the photos over the next few days.
I like to look at the quilts in detail, I study them depth, each and every one.

Individual voice. – Capture and Create.
I always have a vision of the completed work before I begin to stitch, but it doesn’t always end up that way. This piece is a testament to that. I listen to my work, and react to the individual voice.
Plant Creative seeds to Harvest tomorrow – a journey of discovery.
My quilting style belongs to me and me alone.
What I create is from my heart and head.
My brain is my tool, my heart is my intuition, and my hands do my bidding.
The Day diary of a Textile Art Tutor. – Capture and Create.
It’s so nice being home. I have another day of teaching today with a group of ladies who honour me with their presence. I’m always humbled and I still have the feeling of amazement that someone actually waits in anticipation, prepares and packs their supplies to come to one of my classes. When those ladies arrive laden with their machines and large overflowing bags of fabric, notions and the latest equipment I do a little mental dance.
Street art. – A fascinating form of communication.
Artists have challenged art by situating it in non-art contexts. Street artists do not aspire to change the definition of an artwork, but rather to question the existing environment with its own language. The motivations and objectives that drive street artists are as varied as the artists themselves.
The creation of a thread illustration.
OK, not sure how it will work out, but stay tuned to see the results.
(I’m having a day off the Bayeux today)
Just something special – making a quilt.
There’s something very basic about making a quilt.
Cultural Red. – An exhibition of contemporary Fiber Art.
Friend Lisa and I attended an exhibition of contemporary Fibre Art at the Capitol Rotunda Art Gallery presented by The Studio Art Quilt Associates of New Mexico.
Photography to create art by – Southern New Mexico Festival of Quilts.
No, it’s not how to take a super photograph with all the bells and whistles, It’s a down to earth look at how to take an image and use it to create a piece of Textile art.
Quilt Barns – of Old Mission Peninsula.
Its rather difficult to photograph the barns, some of them are a distance off the road and then of course there really isn’t anywhere to safely park the car. This barn was set on a hill of white spring daisies. I stopped by the mailboxes and walked to the road to get my shot. In the mean time, I was observed by a group of goats on the opposite side of the road, they ran up to the fence and gave me a ‘goat stare’ and an occasional bleat. I talked to them.
