I constantly learn from the artists featured in your mag. I LOVE fiber art and am working on my skills. I get a lot out of the TV show, newletters etc. the details help me a lot. Thank you SO MUCH. Love, Jeanne

This works really well on small pieces.

On larger pieces where uneven amounts of quilting can lead to bulges - simply quilt the picture panel (with or without a backing layer) then add to main quilt AFTER the quilting on the main quilt has been done - then the detailed quilting cannot pull it all out of shape.

I usually join the two with a quilted line around the edge and along the main picture lines.

I have been lucky enough to see Terry's piece up close and personal several times. It is a lovely quilt with so many details to observe. I love the style she uses with the darker edges peeking out behind areas she wants to emphasize. Her stitching is very free and gives just the right amount of detail and structure to the piece.

I love the piece Terry shows. The most important point I take from it is the art of blank space (the road a prime example). For me, it is very difficult to quit quilting and leave spaces alone. A timely thought, which I will definitely incorporate into the art quilt I am working on currently.
