Rebel Folk Artist: Mary

Mary's house is undergoing a major remodel.  She made these small quilts for the workers.  The one labeled "color" was for the designer.  He wanted to paint everything gray.  Mary was a first grade teacher in her previous life, a job requiring lots of creativity and imagination.

Dianne is doing complex portraits

 Learned from books by Sue Carlson.....Fish first, then the sun in preparation for the portrait of my husband, whose nose is my challenge. I am also trying out different framing ideas. Fish is traditional framing, the Sun on stretcher bars.

Miki: Colors of Provence

This quilt was inspired by your quilt ( the Circle in a Circle quilt) and the fabrics you gave me.  I wanted to break out of my comfy color zone, and this was how I did it.  Note:  I only gave her a small handful of tiny scraps.

Miki at February Rebels

This is called Mexican Stars.  It is from a pattern by Southwind Designs.  I fell in love with the design and had to make it.

This is called Bayou Sunset.  I had no reason to make it except fun.  I was trying out a new to me inset circle technique.
