I‘m super excited that two of my entries into @t I‘m super excited that two of my entries into @thefestivalofquilts won an award. 
I haven‘t entered any quilts shows for a few years, as I had very very bad shipping experiences. So it makes me extra happy, that in the year I was finally brave enough again to enter and ship, I won two ribbons (unfortunately it’s no ribbon, it’s a certificate 🤷🏻‍♀️).
Thank you so much @moclava_sew for all the pictures 🫶😘.

I had a wonderful time teaching @roadtovirginia . I had a wonderful time teaching @roadtovirginia . I taught four days of classes and my students were amazing. Shout out to @debiquilts2 for being the best machine rep I could have imagined. 
I loved hanging out with Daisy @warmfolk every night for Dinner. Thanks Daisy for all the fun! 
Prior to Richmond, I got to get over my jetlag in New York City and (except for the 42 degrees celsius) I had a blast. 
I was quite nervous prior to my trip, because of how the world is right now, but I turned out great.

I felt like this deserved a post on the grid. My q I felt like this deserved a post on the grid. My quilt “Meditation” made it on the cover of @patchquilt.ch yearly magazine. I’m so honored! 🫶
The text that goes with it: 
“Anyone familiar with Lisa and her work knows that she mostly works with very saturated and vibrant colors. For the patCHquilt competition Ego-et-Artifex, Lisa was browsing through the permanent collection of the Kunsthaus Zürich, and the painting “Mediation” by Alexej von Jawlensky unexpectedly caught her eye. 2023 was a mentally very demanding year for Lisa personally, and the painting immediately touched her on a deeper emotional lever. She found the freehand imitation of brushstrokes with a sewing machine and thread very meditative. The background was composed of various linen fabrics with metallic accents and then quilted with almost 30 different @aurifilthread cotton thread colors and weights.”

This was my contribution to the @patchquilt.ch cha This was my contribution to the @patchquilt.ch challenge 2025. All shapes are traditionally pieced, there’s no appliqué involved. If you’re interested in learning this from me, there’s still spots in my “Inset circles and oval shapes” class (4005E) @roadtovirginia .

Me and my entry to the “Farbenspiel3” Challeng Me and my entry to the “Farbenspiel3” Challenge @patchquilt.ch and my statement: 
In this piece drawing and textile art merge into a dynamic dialogue. Traditionally pieced patchwork oval improv shapes were traced with dark, thick thread. Carefully adjusted stitch length and thread tension create delicate loops, creating a sketch-like dynamic. This quilt is a visual narrative that combines both the craftsmanship of quilting with the freedom and playfulness of sketching.
