Touching the fabric and working with it (all by hand at that time) soothed my frayed nerves and helped me focus on my studies. One day, I realized I would never make points that weren't buried and I didn't care. I also didn't care about tiny perfect hand quilting stitches. By then, I was living in remote Thea Beleczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987139441091333949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-22706642810914411502012-05-22T09:09:38.670-04:002012-05-22T09:09:38.670-04:00I never did learn much about traditional quilting....I never did learn much about traditional quilting. But I got into tie-dye in '97, and have done lots of dyeing ever since. In 2007, I took a class from Melly Testa on a number of surface design techniques, and began my journey in Art Quilting. I also follow a number of blogs by fiber artists, and derive inspiration from them to try different things. Meanwhile, the stash pile keeps growing!Judy Sall Fiber Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172226619205640720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-20800384005614222162012-05-21T23:02:26.179-04:002012-05-21T23:02:26.179-04:00Great post!

They were great friends and learned together. I can see where one loved an activity more than her friends. I view my journey the same. I started out sewing clothing, knitting, and crochet. Traditional quilting was embark on in my early twenties.

After I was unable to make a living as a textile artist, I stumbled around trying to find a creative outlet while working in an office environment. Saw an art quilt exhibit and thought it was interesting. Recently, I feel that my art has evolved into mixed media.

i started...oh gosh, what a great post and question!<br />i started with a traditional quilt class over 20 years ago and i felt restless in it. horrible teacher, boring pattern. and after meeting you and working for you and us forming our great fiber arts groups i realized it was the "pattern" part of creating that always bugged me.<br />the freedom to be able to make whatever i wanted without maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115324457014211574noreply@blogger.com
