I haven’t talked much about joyful quilting. I have struggled with finding my footing in the art I do. There were moments with my bio mom that were negitive and I took an art class at a community college where the teacher said I would never create anything that was art. I gave up creating for a long time.
My bio mom would never approve of this quilt and that is okay. I made her a beautiful quilt that she had picked out the fabric. When she saw it, she declared it was the ugliest thing she had ever seen and she would never use it. I took it back and gave it away when I moved to West Virginia.
This quilt is my own design. I have designed other quilts but this on is truly. I have given myself permission to play with color, texture and trims. I can see things I will do in other quilts. As soon as I can afford it, I am going to add electric quilt 8 program. I do want to design quilts for publication. The quilt has given me such a sense of freedom to create.
