“It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.”
― Vincent van Gogh

Fabrics, books, patterns for quilting — inspired by nature. It may be out of print, but her book The Quilted Garden is a wonderful story of her approach to design and contains a lot of How To information for her style of vibrant applique.
Not So Fancy Nancy, formerly known as the Crafty Wench
She sews, she knits, she quilts, she scraps and stamps. THAT’S what van Gogh is talkin’ ’bout.
Jane Spolar at Quilt Poetry
I found this artist while looking for patterns for tree quilts. Her fabrics seem ripe for use in fussy cut kaleidescope quilts.
What a great blog!
