Abstract Conceptual Gallery
Abstract Conceptual pieces depict emotions and narratives. Over half of the contemporary quilt art I create is designed and crafted in an abstract style. I incorporate various colors, patterns, and textures to best communicate the concepts and emotions of a piece. Each fabric selected contributes to what I have to say. Pieces are sewn by hand or using a combination of hand and machine stitching. I share how and why I create these pieces in my blog posts.
