So far this year, I have been working on Gypsy Party, And Read All Over, and an Antique Butterfly Quilt and completing other pieces from last year. I am also working on preliminary designs for a commemorative quilt for the August 225th of our Bondville Fair.
Last year I completed Alice Nova, Hen Rietta, Whacky Butterflies and My New Obsession. The newly re-discoverd English Paper Piecing (EPP) technique has gripped me, so I’m training myself on this technique, I hope to offer EPP classes or demonstrations this year too.
Teaching Fabric Collage Workshops at local learning organizations has been a part of my quilting life too. See GMALL (Green Mountain Academy of Lifelong Learning). and one at the Mt Airy Learning Tree, in April 2021.
Since 1997, I have been striving to make unique, original quilts under Karoline Wallace QuiltWorks. I sometimes take commissions, but mostly I make quilts based on images and ideas which inspire and thrill me. Here is my Artist Statement describingt my general quilting ideas and methods.
Well, I’m also head-over-heels in love with bag making. Designer Sally Thompson’s Bionic Gear Bag and the byAnnie patterns are amazing and I highly recommend them. I was so impressed that I made over a dozen Bionic Gear Bags which you can check out here. I hope to be teaching at least one of these wonderful project in a class at some point. So much fun!
My own impressionistic landscapes are now my passion, along with my playtime with Rimpas. Here is my take on traditional quilt patterns with my own twist. I have also been obsessed with hand work and have done many hand appliqué quilts. I hope you enjoy looking through all this. I’ve certainly enjoyed laying it all out for you!
