Guts
Guts
An original work of art. Hand pieced and hand quilted, stretched on a wooden frame.
Year Completed: 2018
Dimensions: 6x6”
I usually love seeing the ‘quilt guts’ on the back of a quilt top before I baste and hide them forever. This quilt top is made with transparent silk, so you can see through the piecing to the ‘frankenbatting’ that I made to make the batting large enough. This subtle quilt is a window into the interior.
The quilt was made for the 30x30x30 show at Var Gallery, and is one of only 2 quilts from the series that are still available for purchase.
*Shipping may take up to 2 weeks

Make your own Framed Quilt with my On-Demand class:
The ‘Soft Bulk’ of a quilt is extraordinary! Quilts can squish into backpacks and unfurl into art galleries, but sometimes there’s a thrill in stretching them taught, just like a painting. This workshop will teach you to use a wooden frame and staples to display your quilt ‘stretched canvas style.’
Learn a variety of techniques like layering, patchwork, quilt-as-you-go, embroidery, and freeform applique, in a fun, quick-finish project that you can scale up as desired. This is one of my most popular classes and a great introduction to both quiltmaking and my teaching style.
These Framed Quilts and this class both make great gifts!
