And the winner is...

Crazy Sheep just won the Best in Innovative Quilts at the Road to CA show.

Already I am working on a new Crazy Sheep quilt with the addition of trees and shrubs. I am pushing the techniques even further.

    Thanks! This only the second time I entered a quilt in a show. I think the trick to winning is creating a quilt which is really different from what has been done before. It is like inventing the wheel. Tweaking something is a lot easier.

This is the quilt I have been working on for the last 2 or 3 years.   It is made up of little samples I made as experiments and some blocks with nothing in particular.  All the blocks are hand dyed by me and then combined by overlapping the edges and hand embroidering over those joints.  My thought is to have a professionally quilted by a long-arm machine.  Without batting and backing, it already weighs at least 10 lbs.  There is no way for me to quilt this on my home sewing machine, especially when my cat is riding on the quilt.

What to do with Hand Dyed Wool Fabric?

I've been hand dying jacket weight wool fabrics for a few years now.  I use them in my needle felted appliqued quilts.  But I've had the urge to expand into ponchos and other simple jacket shapes.  Maybe there also needs to be an appliqued animal or two.
