We are trying something new in the
Waverley Art Quilters Group this year. Usually we study an artist or topic and make a small art quilt based on what we have learnt. We have doing this for a few years now and thought a change would be a good idea.
We have chosen to study a book by
Sandra Meech, called
Connecting Design to Stitch. If you click on her name it will take you to her website and you will find images of her wonderfully creative quilts.
The idea of studying the book is to explore personal themes and styles through composition exercises and design classes.
The first theme we have to explore is
Nature. Nature is an inspiration for many artists including myself. I have already done many quilts with a nature inspired theme.
I love using birds in quilts.

I've done quite a few quilts with a flower theme.

Of course my Crazy Quilts often use nature as its theme.

Even though I have done many nature inspired quilts I hope to do many more.
Bye for now,
Linda

Your seasons quilt blocks are great. I like embroidering birds, have never tried appliqueing or quilting them. Love the pelican.
Thanks for the kind comment, I must admit that I like the pelican as well, I would like to do more of that sort of quilt
