I can now reveal my Quiltart @ 15 project which can also be seen in the context of the other entries at http://www.quiltart.com/15 . The challenge was to create a 15 inch square work for the Quiltart list's fifteenth birthday. My quilt is designed to highlight fifteen things I have learnt from belonging to Quiltart. Can you find them all on the quilt? I chose to use cotton, silk organza, machine embroidery and quilting, and TAP transfer. TAP is a product developed by Lesley Riley for image transfer. It can now be bought at http://www.ctpub.com/. Their blog entry for June 27, 2010 has a link to a 90 minute tutorial on using TAP. I wish that I had had access to it when I created the project! I am a composer (DMA in Composition) and a fibre artist/teacher. I create small art quilts, and enjoy passing on my love of sewing and quilting by teaching others. Many of my beginner level classes are offered through the City of Long Beach (California) Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine. I am a member of SAQA, and the international group Fifteen Quilts.
