Freedom!

When I considered the many ways of looking at a specific quilt pattern, I began to see how contemporary quilts were just another way of telling a story with fabric and design. There is a great deal of freedom to be found in letting go of the rules of traditional quilting and embarking on a journey through the world of abstract quilts. The richness of today's fabrics in both color and design make the sky the limit for the contemporary and traditional quilter. I have decided I can't be satisfied with one or the other. I will continue to make traditional quilts, but I am also exploring a whole new world of contemporary design. As with traditional quilts, there are many techniques and styles to try until I find my niche. It is exciting to let my mind fill up with countless ideas for my quilts. Bring on the fabric!!!
