My Trees quilt is one of my favorites. Not only was it a quick quilt to make, but it also reminds me to keep things simple. Let the fabric do the heavy lifting and let the viewer supply some of their own interpretation.

I enjoy teaching my Trees workshop; I love the sense of accomplishment I see when quilters make their first freeform cut using a rotary cutter and no rulers! After that first tree is pieced into the background, then everyone begins to see the possibilities. What if I added a branch? What if the trunk is split? What if? These are powerful words.

New Braunfels Area Quilt Guild, New Braunfels, Texas

The quilters in New Braunfels are fearless! I visited them in February for a lecture and workshop and they made lots of trees. Aren't they wonderful?!
