Welcome
to Quilt Poetry!
Introducing
"Daffodil
Dance", a new design just released, which I hope you'll
enjoy. "Daffodil Dance" is an expression of springtime breezes
and the
early flowers of the season, just how we remember them and enjoy them
each year.
I
hope "Daffodil Dance" reminds you of the cool and lush of
spring any time of year.
By
following this link you can see photo details of the quilt, sharp
enough to see stitching and quilting!
If your shop currently isn't carrying Quilt Poetry patterns, please
them know you'd like to have them available. I'd be pleased to
schedule a trunk show with your favorite shop, too. You may also
order
patterns here, online. If you choose any three patterns, you can
select another free!
Thank you for visiting Quilt Poetry!

| Cascade. Large
blossoms tumble into view. Can you imagine how many flowers are
loaded
on these vines? Tendrils twisting here and there ... I hope they
evoke the sweet smell of the breeze flowing through them!
This version
is made with bold colors, but an alternative model in soft pastels is
as
dramatic.

Quilts evoke
our emotions through their visual and tactile qualities, just as words
can stir our emotion in poetry.
"Floral
Meditation" was
originally inspired by the graceful brush strokes used in rosemaling, a
Scandinavian folk painting technique. I designed it on a cold winter
day
when my thoughts ran to the warmth of the season to come.

Hanging Size: 27" x 40".

Poetry,
"...formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience..."
It
is, "A quality that stirs the imagination. A quality of spontaneity and
grace."
"Phoenix"is
a quilt filled with motion and life. It was inspired by the
ancient
myth of the Phoenix bird, and is wonderful symbol of transcendence and
hope.

My
patterns are
appliqué with some minor piecing. I think you will enjoy
them.
They are designed to make you smile and make your soul sing.
"Peace
and Friendship" is a table
runner.
I was inspired by the coming Spring, but Peace
and Friendship is appropriate any time of
year!

Runner Size: 17" x 50"

Flirtation
reaches up to entice the summer sun with a sweet kiss, and evokes cool,
romantic summer evenings near a lake or maybe on the back porch ... .
"Suitable
for Framing"
Bordered
traditionally in fabric, or matted and framed for a truly beautiful
effect
[inset], I hope you'll fall in love with this splashy little flower!

| At home
I have a Porcelain Cat, asleep, carrying on the outside of her feline
form
the thoughts and dreams inside. This Porcelain
Cat, too, dreams the dream of life and
chasing, naps and frolic, flowers, a garden, and a friendly lap.
Noted by Australian
Patchwork & Quilt as a "Hot New Find at Houston Market".

I've tried
to capture the pure joy of the summer months in Frolic
- of swimming, learning piano, hearing a delicious tune carried on an
evening
breeze.
Frolic
is also "Suitable for Framing"
and has a classy, fun look whether bordered traditionally with fabric
or
matted and framed [inset].

"Butterfly
Mask - Transformation" is the first in a
series
of three Mask Quilts. While any of the three can be displayed
alone,
they are designed to also be displayed together as a triptych.
The
borders of each form a frame that encompasses all three.
The butterfly
embodies the immutable concept of change and metamorphosis. Life
giving transformation is possible only when we remember to let
ourselves
change - and let go of things that can no longer nourish, or that are
heavy
and destructive.
Awarded
a Viewers' Choice Award, St. Cloud Heritage Quilters' "Garden of Quilts
Show"

"Floral
Mask - Harmony" is the second of the Mask
Quilts and forms the center of the triptych. Naturally it can
also
be displayed alone.
Masks hold
a primordial fascination. In myth and psychology masks contain
the
life force, giving shape and expression to it. As such, masks
don't
so much hide the true character of what lies beneath as to display the
underlying nature of what is invisibly there.

"Dragonfly
Mask - Serendipity" is the third Mask
Quilt.
Dragonflies flit to and fro seemingly without a care in the
world.
But joined to that carefree appearance is their serious intent and
purpose.
Does their fleet nature, gossamer appearance, and serious intent join
together
to provide them Joy of Purpose? Perhaps so ... .
Originally,
the term for obtaining or finding unsought wealth - spiritual or
material
- came from the Persian fairytale The Three Princes of Serendip.

| "Every
experience deeply felt in life needs to be passed along - whether it be
through words, music, chiseled in stone, painted with a brush, or sewn
with a needle, it is a way of reaching for immortality."
- Thomas
Jefferson
