I have been painting a lot in my garage. Next post I will show you something new to me. It's challenging and enjoyable at the same time. I love to learn :)

My work is on the Cover of *Quilting Arts Magazine*


 *Peaks* 34" by 35"

I have exciting news. I have not only a new article for the upcoming issue of Quilting Arts but I also made THE COVER!


I am so happy. I am on page 62 and the title of the article is *Add a POP of Color*. It's a modern twist to the well known half square triangle. It's fun and different.


In this close-up you can see how I quilted with the sewing machine and by hand with big stitches.



This is a variation of this fun technique. You can find more information HERE  

Here is the link of the INTERVIEW I had with Managing Editor Kristine Lundblad.

My latest Article in *Quilting Arts Magazine*

 


*Vibrant and Bold* 
My latest article is out in Quilting Arts Magazine Fall 2021. It's in there where I show you how to use Infusible Ink to color polyester sheets.


I am on page 112. It is a neat technique to achieve vibrant colors.

Just recently, after this article was wrote, sadly the company discontinued the production of the light mixed media sheets. Don't despair, I found alternatives, please read below:


for a transparent effect I used this product Light Lutradur


for an opaque effect I used Medium Weight Interfacing

Just followed the same instructions written on the article and you will achieve wonderful bold colors. 

Let me know if you have any questions and I hope you will try this new technique and have as much fun as I did.

NEW Article in the French Magazine *Simply Moderne*

 


My latest article is out! It has been published in the French magazine SIMPLY MODERNE- ISSUE #25


I am on page 78. It's an easy technique where I show you how to use two wonderful fabrics that you have been saving and didn't know how to incorporated them into a quilt. TIP: you will need an inexpensive wooden hoop and some paint.

I hope you try it and enjoy the process as much as I did.

*NEW* Article in Simply Moderne Magazine

 

I have so many news to share but I cannot do it in one post. I will write several entries in the coming days.

My latest article has been released! This is my sixth consecutive year writing for the French magazine Simply Moderne Magazine.


My article shows how to paint quilt blocks with a technique I've called *Speckle Paint*. And believe me when I tell you that you need a cheese grater for this technique.

It is a very complete article, with detailed pictures of every step. It is 8 pages long! I created this technique because *Speckling* has always intrigued me. I tried many different ways through the years and finally I discovered how to do it. Each block is different and yet the end result is a cohesive quilt top since the same design is repeated several times.


You can create your own screens OR you can get a set of two, the same designs I used on my quilt at My Store. 

Also inside this issue there is an article about Quilt National. To promote this event a group of quilts was chosen and to my surprise they included a photograph of my winning quilt as well. That makes me very happy. An unexpected surprise.


And here are some details:


My final quilt ( 50" x 74"):

I hope you will try this new way of painting. It's lots of fun :)
Stay safe!
