Gordian Knot Quilt - The Challenge

Fascinated by the challenge of making this adaptation of the celtic knot, I couldn't let this go until I reverse engineered the process and completed the assembly.

Sunprint Fun - Michelle's Quilt

I've always been intrigued with the Sunprint (more formally known as cyanotype) technique, particularly on fabric. This quilt is one I made for my niece; it incorporates squares that I "sun printed" with elements from the border fabric.

Coptic Bound Handmade Book - Green Floral

Several years ago, my sister and I attended a book making workshop taught by Daniel Essig.  If you've never seen his work, I encourage you seek out his website; his sculptural books are like nothing you've ever seen.

After taking his class, and walking away with a very satisfying wooden coptic book, I wanted to make another book to help reinforce my learning.  This is the first book I made after that class.
