Pieced Painter's Shirts

This is our first effort of "piecing without borders" from our recent workshop. This shirt uses washed dupioni silks with a stand up collar and covered buttons.
The Economy:
We are very aware of the state of the economy. We want to make our all our pieces affordable and fun. Keeping this is mind, we are working on a line of "Event Bags". It is worn across the front and uses our wonderful silks. Each bag will be a piece of art.

"Quilting without Borders"




We took a quilting workshop with Denyse Schmidt this weekend in Bridgeport, CT. It was quilting without borders, intuitive, learning to let go and explore color and design. Fun to play with fabric all day. Great group of fellow quilters.
We are planning to explore using this technique in our Painter's Shirt designs as well as our kimonos.
Here is a link to Denyse Schmidt's terrific web site: www.dsquilts.com
