My first two quilts from 1990
I started quilting in 1990 with my first two quilts, which had a simple appliqué Star Trek designs. I was really proud of them. Since then, I've made many quilts, mostly inspired by science fiction, especially Star Trek. In the last ten years, I've also started exploring other sci-fi franchises in my work. #quilting #quilt #quiltingcommunity #startrek
Quilting has been a beloved craft for many, combining creativity with a sense of community. In the 1990s, the quilting landscape was transformed by the revival of traditional quilting techniques alongside modern influences. Many quilters began to express their love for pop culture in their designs, much like my early work inspired by Star Trek. Today, the quilting community thrives on social media platforms, encouraging enthusiasts to share their projects, tips, and tricks. Hashtags like #quilting and #quilt connect quilters from all over the world, fostering inspiration and collaboration. For those interested in starting their own quilting journey, it's essential to explore various styles and communities. From traditional piecing techniques to contemporary art quilts inspired by fandoms, the possibilities are endless. Participating in online forums and local quilting groups can provide support, resources, and motivation. Embrace the adventure of quilting, and who knows? You might find your unique style as you stitch your way through each project!
Totally love the quilts 😍
