Lisa Call makes contemporary, geometric quilts. According to her biography, “Her work is abstract but draws elements from many places: her love of the colors and geological forms of the southwest, her interest in human-made structures for containment such as fences and stone walls, and her exploration of her own internal psychological walls and boundaries.” Her Structures series uses all hand dyed fabrics. The pieces are hand-cut, and then pieced improvisationally. The quilting is dense and meticulous. It is a slow, meditative process, and her work invokes that same calm.

Ms. Call also has a wonderful blog that provides insight into the “who, what, where, why, when and how” of her artwork. It’s a rare thing to be able to delve into the creation of these quilts and see her evolution as an artist over the years. She also posts workshop reviews, tutorials, and her views on the quilting world at large.
