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. 

Wall 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.

Wall Hanging  Size: 24" x 38"

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!

Table 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!

Wall Hanging Size: 16" x 19"
Fits 14" x 18" Frame with 10" x 13" mat opening

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".

Wall Hanging Size: 26" x 31"

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"

Wall Hanging Size: 28" x 30.5"

"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
