pin cushions
December 2, 2008
kelly ricks gave me this pin cushion for my birthday the last semester we were in school. I still cant believe she was able to part with it!
note from A.T
the book of the bottom is one of my favorites Hawaiian Quilt Masterpieces. Its what inspired me to
start making reverse applique quilts in college even though I had just learned how to sew. A graduate student in the fabric design department named Meredith Re showed how to do some stitches and use the sewing machine. My method turned more into stitch and slash rather rather than applique. I wasnt about to turn under all those edges! The first doll I ever made is one the wall in my studio too. I refused to ever part with that one even though it was always everyone’s favorite.
I was just looking to see if I had a jpeg of any of my quilts to post, but all my art from those days is on silly slides. I will have to get those scanned.
