This quilt began as a collaboration with Zak Foster in June 2023. Ultimately, our collaboration shifted and became YES MORE PLEASE! Missing a couple Saturdays, this applique represents the waxing and waning moons during that month, while we anticipated our time together. (Also included are the last day of April, and the first day of June, as a toile duck) The base is a quilt from the annual June rummage at the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Art, the frame is a silkscreen from the rummage. The border fabric is made with pants from an employee at The Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from my time as their Artist in Residence in 2024.

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!
