Writing a Studio Art Quilt Associates member profile about myself sent me scampering for quilt images. Turning to the CDs, flash drives and cloud storage nooks where my art quilt photos lurk, I found some nice memories.

Detail “Road to School,” 1999
It took forever to sew these pinky nail sized leaves onto the Road to School. At that point, I would machine quilt for the bed, but art quilts were always hand quilted. Now I use a longarm or hand quilt, depending on the statement and effect desired.
Bright Sky II, 2013
I couldn’t easily find CDs of some professionally photographed quilts. Ack. There are quilts that I never photographed, some of which I’ll probably never see again.
Gioia’s Rainbows, 2003
This little journey down quilt memory lane shows how pursuing the Master Hand Knitter program has reduced my quilting since 2013. That will soon be out of my life so I can focus on quilting more.
I hereby declare:
to photograph all completed quilts from this day forth, establishing a data storage policy which shall make future retrieval of digital images more efficient.
