Artist Statement

This quilt is an original design made of various squares and rectangles of coveted fabric from my Kaffe Fassett collection. I wanted to create a pattern that would showcase the modern, bold, vibrant prints in each fabric. The inspiration for the project comes from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Sunset Boulevard.

Artist Statement

The Edmonton and District Quilt Guild 40th Anniversary Prairie Rose challenge was to make a quilt using inspiration from a magazine page 40. My page instantly reminded me of a morning I was running in Strasbourg, France in 2016. The streets were quiet! The locals and tourists had not yet started their days. The smell of fresh baking bread filled the air as I passed countless bakeries.

This piece is based on one of those bakeries. The page I selected is an almost perfect replica of the quaint store front. There were two old gentlemen sipping coffee and chatting quietly. In the background Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 in Eb major for Violin filled the tiny shop and adjacent street. This piece brings me back to that magical morning in France!

Quilted By: Quilted by Machine (Longarm) that is Hand-Guided: Corey Ralph - Sew Manly Quilting

Techniques: Pieced, Appliqué by Machine

Design Source: Ricky Tims Convergence Technique

Artist Statement

This convergence quilt was pieced during my retreat to La Veta, CO in April 2018. I was able to spend seven days with my mentor and friend, Ricky Tims. During my retreat with Ricky, I visited his ranch at Autumn Rock. I was moved by the beauty and serenity of this magical part of the planet.

Since that time, a devastating fire burned through the area destroying much of the landscape. The raven is "bringer of hope" and the silhouette of the burned tree symbolizes the power of Mother Nature. I honour my time at Autumn Rock and hope this piece brings comfort and hope for the future.
