Kate Themel
My name is Kate Themel, owner of Square One Design. My art quilts have been exhibited around the United States in galleries, offices, art shows, and quilt festivals. I have also created commissioned works for customers from New York to San Francisco, and as far away as Rijeka, Croatia.
My fine arts training and experience as a painter have a great influence on my quilt designs. I see myself primarily as a painter, but I may use acrylics, oils, or colored fabric as my medium.
I love using Dharma's PFD (prepared for dyeing) cotton. It works great with reactive dyes, regular and metallic fabric paints, inks, and photo transfer.
Some examples:
Spider web background is PFD cotton tie dyed with reactive dyes. Dragonfly is PFD cotton drawn with colored fabric markers & white fabric paint Magnolias are PFD cotton hand painted with Dye-na-Flow silk paints Sunlight beams (in the tree scene) are painted using metallic bronze Portraits were created using black cotton and light, opaque fabric paints

We thought it would be a neat idea to showcase the work of artists and businesses who are using Dharma products, so we've been asking customers to send in photos and info so we can share it with you. If you use our products and would like to be included.
