I have been a quilter for many years. Like many I started out with more or less traditional designs, but then, in the mid 1990's I started to veer off into my own "thing". I am self taught, but had a lot of exposure to art growing up. I had done a variety of techniques from painting and drawing to clay work, and then some sewing. Now I dye much of my fabric, which I then discharge, overdye, print and stencil on for many of my quilts. I started using Procion dyes about ten years ago and still love them. I also use the stamp pads and ink, and the quick stamp to make designs for a given project in just minutes!
I am not afraid to "augment" my work with fabric crayons and markers. On my quilts I mostly use raw edge applique and collage. My most recent technique is discharging, which has been a lot of fun. I love looking through the Dharma Catalogue, drooling over all the many new tools available - I hope to try many more of them!
