Linda is a prolific fibre artist. She belongs to SAQA (Studio Artist Quilters of America) and last year won a fabric design contest. The result of that win was that her fabric was printed in three colour ways and was mass produced for sale. (See an earlier post, the first Mavericks meeting I attended, shows challenge pieces made from her fabric.)
To make fabric designs, Linda chooses one of her own photos with good contrast. Goes into a photo program such as Photoshop, posterizes, adds saturation and contrast to the photo or anything that enhances the image. She may kaleidoscope, fracture or repeat the image at random. When she gets the image she likes she prints it thru an online site called Spoonflower. It arrives in the mail in about a week.
Here is her latest created fabric piece She created it using the image of an old saguaro cactus trunk. She plans on quilting it as a whole cloth quilt.
