Mini Quilt Month: Day 3: introducing the contributors
Introducing the wonderful contributors, whose mini quilt patterns appear in my new book Whip Up Mini Quilts
The contributors whose work appears in Whip Up Mini Quilts are makers, artists and quilters, from all the around the world, whose work I have admired via their blogs or from flickr. I have met none of these women in real life, but I feel I know them simply because their work speaks to me – I hope you love it too!
On the front cover appears the work of three makers they are: Alexandra Rasmussen – a German maker living in Japan, US based artist Lisa Solomon, and Australian quilter Kellie Wulfsohn.
Also inside you will find: UK based stitchers – Alix McAlister + Ruth Singer : Finnish artist Kajsa Wikman : Australian based makers Alison Brookbanks, Shannon Lamden, Kristine Lempriere, Nicole Vaughan and me! And US based makers Betz White, Sherri-Lynn Wood, Lisa Call, Boo Davis, Malka Dubrawsky, Victoria Gertenbach, Lizette Greco, Liz Harvatine, Jude Hill, Lucinda Jones, Alicia Paulson, Meg Spaeth and Sarah Steedman. I will be introducing you these women’s work over the next few weeks so stay tuned. But for today I want to introduce you to the cover gals!
Alexandra Rasmussen – who you might know better via the name moonstitches. Alex is not know as a quilter – however her crafting and stitching has such a lovely aesthetic. I fell in love with it way back in 2006 when she entered this bag in the whiplash competitions.
I have featured US based artist Lisa Solomon on whipup numerous times (felt tank installation and doily tree) her delicate work is very empowering.
You might know Australian quilter Kellie Wulfsohn from her amazing applique quilts – she was featured on whipup here. But I first saw Kellies quilts on the mini quilt swap flickr group. Kellie teaches quilting and applique classes and her quilts have been featured in numerous quilting magazines.
