Today I am recommending that you visit a wonderful blog post by art quilter Kathy York in which she describes how she made Little Fish in a Big City. Kathy's very original, 3-D quilt was accepted into Quilt National, the annual art show at the Dairy Barn in Athens, Ohio.
In her May 20 post, Kathy describes the details of how she constructed skyscrapers that actually rise up out of the quilt background. Also, look closely at the fish to see that they are all transporting little people through the city "streets."
What a great quilt that I am sure will be talked about for quite awhile!
I like to make all kinds of quilts, from postcard to king-size. I have a Gammill longarm quilting machine, several domestic sewing machines, and also work with a Babylock Embellishing machine. In the past few years, I have tried my hand at painting with watercolors and art journaling. I also throw in a little nature photography and the occasional travel or grandchild pictures. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you so much for posting the link to Kathy's blog. It was so nice to examine her quilts and learn more, without leaving home!
