Can there be to much play time?

So I was thinking, “My quilts really don’t have to have a bunny, bird or deer in them do they?”.   What if I was to make a abstract quilt?  I’ve been looking at the Gee’s Bend Quilts.  I love them.  They are so hand made.  They’re very much like abstract expressionist art but have a more human touch since they are made with fabric.  Not just any fabric but with fabric that has been worn by their makers and their families.

So I am playing with abstract designs.  Which is harder then one might think.  I have been getting inspiration not only from the Gee’s Bend Quilters, but some of my Internet friends like  Silly BooDilly and Jude Hill.

I think that I am liking the way this is going.

    I delight in your illustrations, and get a bit intoxicated by your stitched work, which I find beautiful, rich, inspirational and original. I really look forward in seeing where you head to next with your quilting. xo
