I’m inspired by ideas and feelings. Often my starting point is that I want to make a quilt that feels peaceful, or happy. Or represents something like friendship or honesty. My friends Tom and Tori were getting married so I made them a double-T quilt. Sometimes I just want to try out a technique or see what fabric looks like in a quilt. Sometimes I see a quilt I fall in love with and I want to replicate it. I often get ideas and inspiration from other art forms such as painting, mixed media, and photography.
