A Secret about My Past

Stamping in the Sun

There is a new book out from Interweave Press called The Best of Quilting Arts edited by Pokey Bolton. It celebrates 10 years of Quilting Arts Magazine by presenting the "very best articles" from the magazine. And yippee! I'm in it!

Stamping in the Forest

Apparently this book is "your ultimate resource for art quilt techniques and inspiration." With that in mind, check out my article, Carve Stampum on page 57. It describes how I hand carved stamps from Saftety Kut and used them with textile paints to stamp fabric for my quilts like those above.

Here's an example of the many stamps carved from Safety Kut that clutter my shelves. At one time I was an addicted stamp carver. But that's all behind me now. Now that I've discovered a different, less messy, addiction..... hand stitching. And now you know about my secret past.
