Art quilt inspiration

Our guild had a guest speaker today.  Wendy M. Showed us a selection of the art quilts she makes, and talked about what inspires her designs, and her techniques.  Every quilt she showed made me want to say WOW!!!

This was actually a round robin done with friends.  Her center block is embellished with silver charms, applique, and 3-D flowers.  

Most of the pieces she showed are small, and several were actually mounted on painted canvas frames.  This was one of my personal favorites.  A pieced background - appliqued 3-D flowers, beads, quilting - very simple but yet very dramatic. It was maybe 12" by 24".  She even had greeting cards with tiny quilts on them.  Again - Wow!!!


Some of her pieces had beads around the edges. Some had binding. Some were very whimsical, like her self-portrait. And some were very elegant.  But all of them were so inspirational.
