Art Quilt, Quilts, Traditional Quilts and Quilts for People

Works in Progress

Guila Greer

We started our new art quilt group this morning and wow is this going to be wonderful. There were 5 of us at this morning’s meeting (2 more couldn’t make it) and our purpose was to communicate what we want to achieve with this group. We all agreed that we want to stretch ourselves creatively – to learn and try different things as well as refine the skills already learned. We started a list of topics that we want to be sure to cover.
This is going to be so much fun.
I have several pieces in mind to make – first I really must finish the quilting on my Spring Whispers throw (I’ll post a pic of the top) and get busy with my Hollow Cube Wall Quilt quilting.
A few months ago I made a little art quilt for my yoga teacher. It was very hard to part with it and I want to do another one along the same lines – just tweak it a bit.
Art Quilt, Journal Size, Quilts

Icecap Melting and Energy = Color = Energy

Guila Greer

I am so loving doing these journal quilts every month. Thank you Eileen (from Quilter’s Studio) for the demos and the inspiration!! I’m doing things that I never dreamed I’d do (painting) and have new confidence doing things that I’ve done before and needed motivation to pull out of my bag of tricks again.

This one is called Energy=Color=Energy and I had fun working improvisationally (is that a word) to create a feeling of energy and movement.

We did one using Angelina fibers – can you find the angelina? This is a little reminder of global warming called “Icecap Melting”
