I’m completely out of inspiration, so here are some pictures of old art that hangs in my living room.

I still like this piece and the jungle fabric that I used in it.   It sits behind a burgundy wing chair which is the perfect place for it.

This piece was made for a show, the theme was “Jazz”, so I did some improvisational piecing in it.   Then I quilted it in a riff on traditional quilting.   It doesn’t show in the photo, but the black fabric is iridescent, and the quilting is done with different colors of shiny thread.   I did win 1st place in Professional Quilting sponsored by my quilting machine company and this quilt hung in their booth at the giant quilt festival in Houston.  It was the third quilt in a series based on this same idea.

This is an ancient piece, it was probably the 6th or 7th quilt I ever made.  I was just showing off my technique.

I think I made this quilt in about 1985.   Back then it was hard to find all the different solid color cotton fabrics, and as it has aged the fabrics are fading at a differential rate.  I think this has made it more interesting.

This one is obviously not made by me, and it is the newest thing (sort of) in the room.   It is a vintage obi and I bought it back in October at the annual Japanese festival.   I thought it would just fit a narrow space and look good hanging there.  I guess all of this shows how much I love textiles.
