Last fall my daughter, Casey, suggested that we might collaborate on a project, and since it involved quilting I readily agreed. Also, to collaborate with my talented daughter and learn from her was exciting. She had several ideas and sent me sketches. After a bit of back and forth on the sizes, colors and design, we were off and running. Her ideas were based on bringing the outdoors in by using constellations, but in a very minimalist style. That style was a challenge for me, as I tend to over do it, just a bit, (wink)
Gosh these blankets are so different! As you say a minimalist style but I like them (even though I love colour and lots of it). Were the constellation designs hand stitched? I notice the straight line machine stitching of which I am a great fan, and what a super store to have display them.
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous...they look wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun, they are beautiful quilts.
ReplyDeleteThey are all fabulous! I can't imagine anything more fun than collaborating with your talented daughter. And look what you and she turned out! The minimalist designs are so pleasing on their own. Then add their connection to the stars, and you've got real "out of this world" winners. I'm sure they'll jump right off the walls into people's homes shortly--that is, if customers can bring themselves to pick one. I know it'd be hard for me. I'd have to buy the whole lot! P.S. The store looks really great too.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have a daughter that is also interested in art. Your quilts are very striking and look wonderful in the store!
ReplyDeleteI think the same as Pinkadot Quilts. I don't have children, but if I had, I would love to share my interest in art with them.
ReplyDeleteYour wallhangins are fabulous. I am interested in simplicity, so, I like the composition, the colors...
Oh Mary! First of all, I love Casey's collection on Pinterest and here! She is a gifted artist. Your simple beauties in her shop look just perfect. They coordinate with the lights above! Genius! next time I am in Portland area, I will be sure to stop by. Congratulations to Casey!
ReplyDeleteI feel fortunate about Kavita being interested in art. We are not speaking the same language when it comes to it with our different styles but it sure is fun to watch her grow as an artist and see her interested in all things art.
