Adding Texture to A New Quilt
I’ve been working this week on a quilt for a project that has to be kept under wraps for right now, so it’s been difficult to find something to post about. I’m at the point now where I can share some of the texture I’m creating though. This piece is an abstracted landscape inspired by a…
