I’ve been working on a new quilt featuring huge succulent plants. When I was in San Francisco a few months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Ann DuMont. Ann has a beautiful garden full of succulents. She photographs her plants and uses the photos to create uniquely designed fabrics from which she creates wearable accessories and decor items. Check out her website<\/a> and Instagram feed<\/a> for examples of her fabulous photos and uniquely designed fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ann offered me some of her fabric scraps. So of course, I had to make a quilt with them! This quilt is inspired by Ann’s garden photos and the leaves of the succulent plants are made with her fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made line drawings of stylized succulents then enlarged them so each was about 26 inches high. I traced each leaf shape onto freezer paper, cut out the fabric and fused bias tape around the edges. As I created the leaves I pinned them in place on the design wall on top of the full size drawings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
