- I am excited to tell you. Art Quilting Studio magazine is publishing another one my art quilts in it’s latest summer issue. This time it is my Red Egret At Waters Edge. I tried to capture the sparkling glimmer created by the suns rays reflected as it sinks lower in sky.
Here’s some pictures of of my “Egret” as published in the magazine. It is a beautiful magizane and the content addresses the kind of information that most art quilters would be interested to know; techniques, materi:als and jibrands used, etc.
I’m excited and appreciative to be included in this beautiful publication.
Here it is.
- Note: This quilt is available on my Etsy shop, https://BarbaraHarmsFiberArt.com as soon as it is returned from the magazine.
“Here’s The Finished Quilt”
Now that this art quilt is completed, I’m going to share a few more photos of it, in it’s final form. Many of the elements in this quilt will look familiar, because I’ve been posting photos all along, showing it’s progress as I’ve worked on it.
If you’ve noticed I haven’t been around much, lately. I’ve been keeping mighty busy working on a new commission from an Australian psychologist. To
She has given me a very interesting project. My client wants a large art quilt with a beautiful Australian tree called a royal poinciana as the subject.
I’d never heard of it, so the search began.What I found was a gorgeous tree! When in full bloom it is covered with masses of bright orange/red blossoms. The flowers are so pretty!
This tree has some interesting characteristics, of course the first being those fantastic flowers. It has long twisting limbs, curving in many directions. Those limbs can form unusual shaped trees. Then there are the leaves, which look like fern fronds.
The next step was drawing some practice sketches to get a feel for the tree
I decided that I wanted to place the focus on those beautiful flowers. When the tree is blooming, great bunches of these red/orange flowers cover the tree. I have a few branches hanging down from the right side. This tree is just beginning to bloom.
At this point in working on this art quilt, it doesn’t look like much….yet. Often created work when seem mid way, will look much different completed
.I’ve made a lot of progress on it more than I’ve shown here.
If you’re interested I’m going to post a few progress photos as it moves along.

My method I use many traditional quilting techniques in a non traditional application. Some of the techniques are used as a design element rather than a practical step in the quilt making process. I hand paint my fabric, often choosing silk It has a luminous quality which seems to reflect light and rich color beautifully. All my work is original. I love the process, starting with a seed of an idea and seeing where that leads. The results can be surprising, at times. I love that unpredictable element. I feel that challenging yourself on occasion prevents your work from become static. I choose projects which I personally find excite interest or challenge me. I feel my enthusiasm can be sensed by the viewer and I think that is what attracts those who enjoy my work

If you’ve noticed I haven’t been around as much, you are correct, I haven’t. I’ve been keeping mighty busy working on a new commission from a Australian psychologist.

I looked at a lot of images on the web, trying to get a feel for it. How does it look? What about it’s silhouette, growth pattern, bark and especially those beautiful flowers?

A unique art quilt based on an unusual moon.
One evening last summer as my husband & I were looking up at the moon, it was particularly luminous that night and peeking out from behind the branches of several trees.Their dark branches formed a filigree of interesting shapes with that fantastic

Spring’s a Coming
Sunshine, Warmth and Water = An Ecstasy of Color and Fragrance
Just bought pots of early spring flowers, the first to hit the stores this Oregon spring. Every winter at the exact moment when you know you can’t take one more dark dreary day, then spring arrives at that exact moment we need it. The dark dreary days are immediately forgotten and forgiven because IT IS SPRING IN OREGON!! And Oregon is a mighty great place to be in the spring!!
With the prospect of all the lovely flowers to come, another thing comes to mind. Art quilts with wonderful flowers and the sights of spring, summer and even into fall.
Put two opposites side by side, what happens?

Contrast can make a big difference.
Strong contrasts make things stand out, they are noticed immediately, commanding your attention. A strong contrast will intensify the impact of the contrasting items.
The definition of the word contrast is the state of being strikingly different from something else, typically something in juxtaposition or close association.
Why my interest? I’ve been thinking about contrasts lately and more to the point, how can they be used effectively in to create interesting fiber art quilts. I’ll get to that query later. But first I have one of my little stories to relate.
Sane or insane? Earthling or alien?

How to manage my 24
It Passes So Quickly
One day, for some reason, I read some my older posts. As I read, I noticed a common thread running through many.
I often seemed to be in a dither, “My shop is empty. My oh my! I need to make more quilts, More! More”. There weren’t enough hours in the day to accomplish everything.
It occurred to me that perhaps I was making excuses for myself…hum, Could I benefit from an examination of my time management.
Here’s a new quilt for a baby girl. It has a tea party theme, with hand turned applique on the teapots and cups.
I’ve made a few traditional quilts lately, a change from my usual art quilts. I’ve just been in the mood for some traditional quilting.
