I've made quilts for 30 years and am still delighted by the endless ways a myriad of fabrics can be combined into a beautiful and useful quilt - art that can keep you warm. I enjoy the serendipity in quilt making. I start out with an idea for a block, a theme, or a drawing, assemble a pile of fabric and start sewing. I watch to see what works and what doesn't and alter my design as the quilt grows. Borders, sashes, embellishments, the actual quilting design, the threads chosen to do the quilting, and even the binding, all add to the finished work.
Lately, I am making more art quilts and reversible silk jackets using a "Stack and Slash" technique that lets me draw with my rotary cutter. I feel that I've found my artistic voice in this technique. -Mary Bajcz
