For the past few weeks I have been in manic mode creating new work for an exhibit that opens today at the Sewell Gallery in Eureka, CA. I will post a few close up shots for now, and later I will post photos of the opening, the exhibit, and full shots of the work for anyone who is interested. I would love to hear your comments if you have any. Thank you very much for taking a look at my work.
The work falls into two different little collections which I will expand later: Contemporary Wholecloth and Fun with Colors and Shapes.

Lovely - would love to see the show - hope it is a great success!
Thank you so much Susan. I will post lots more photos later for those of you that can't be there and post it on the list.
April, I am so excited to find this! I consider myself to be a contemporary free motion quilter - but on a domestic sewing machine - and it is sooo great to find someone who isn't doing feathers, however good they may be. I love the photos - particularly the first two. I am in the UK, so please, please post photos of the show - and I can't wait to hear about contemporary whole cloth!
Good luck with the show
April--You and your work take my breath away! I should have driven up yesterday for your show! You have such an innate sense of balance and color plus all the hard work you do in creating these magnificent pieces! I am always so inspired when I see your work. I hope the show was an incredible success and I would like for you to show these pieces in a gallery down here in Sonoma. See you soon, love Smokey
Hillary, thank you for your comments. I agree with you,as lovely as "feathers" can be, there are about a zillion other designs and variations we could be using. I will be posting full images by the end of the week. And, you don''t need a longarm to do this kind of work.
April, congratulations! Happy dance!
you deserve it

Thank you very much Leanna. it was more like a Happy Nap though. Even when I thoroughly enjoy these events they seem to zap every ounce of energy. I am happy that I bounce back so quickly though.
Wow--what beautiful free-motiono quilting! I echo the other comments about the intricacy and variety of the designs. The detail shots are inspiring. What a treat the viewers are in for who can see the exhibit at the gallery. Thanks for posting the link on the QA list.

Ooops. . . obviously that free-motiono should have been free-motion!
