Meeting the blue whale in Echo the Dolphin for the first time. Filled me with absolute dread and I couldn't play after that.

I use high smoke point oil, like sunflower or grapeseed. Fine salt is also a must, the coarse stuff just falls off.

It hasn't occurred to me to give it a name, I guess I'll have to think of one!

Thank you, I am mulling over selling pieces in the near future.

Medium blue quilt top with big graphic white flower motif, kinda pop art looking, with concentric circles of navy, aqua, green, and pink in the center of each flower.

Dragged this beast outside to photograph but it was so hot and bright! It's a beefy queen size and I still don't know what I want to do for the back but I'm excited to see what it'll look like quilted.

Thanks so much! I'm not sure it totally 'fixed' the issue but I think it added something of value.

Small quilt that has bold shapes that resemble a stylized rainbow and clouds on a white background. Colors of black, green, yellow with a yellow, pink, green, and blue rainbow.

Part of the quilt is folded up to show the back. Back is linen that is blue and white stripes.

Finished! With maybe my neatest binding job yet. Used an old linen sheet for the back for a nice rumply look. Wasn't super happy with the negative space looking uneven on the bottom half so I added some bands of color to the binding on that side to try and balance it out. #quiltsky #design

A small quilt top with a stylized rainbow of yellow, pink, green, and blue. Red and blue stripes like rain, and large shapes of black, green, and yellow like clouds.

I made a baby quilt! Except for the actual quilting, I'll get to that someday...

Six quilted placements with bold geometric and colorful patterns.

Six quilted placements with bold geometric and colorful patterns.

Been making placemats from the scrap heap. Just trying to let design ideas flow without overthinking it. Really inspired by everyone out there continuing to make art during these frantic and stressful times. #quiltsky #design

My work-in-progress right now. Much more to do and still fiddling with the layout but I'm loving these big bold flowers. #quiltsky

Experimental first post...Hi everyone, my name is Carrie and I do quilting. I love the modern aesthetic and color and the way colors interact with each other. I am very inspired by 20th century design. Here is a quilt I completed last year #modernquilting #quilting #design
