Greetings from Barbara

Hello to the Mavens! Yes, Alice, I am Barbara Friedman from San Diego, CA. I have been quilting since 1985. I love to push the traditional pattern with bold fabrics. I have taken sketching and watercolor journaling classes and will be using my sketches in my art quilts (that's the plan!) I have a flickr site where you can see some of my sketches and a couple of quilts. When you are on flickr.com, my site is BarbaraF2010. My part time job is working with adults with Acquired Brain Injury and for this month I am teaching young children to knit in a summer school program.

  1. Well, Carolyn's detective work paid off--she found you. I will go to that Flickr site soon, and so can any of our other Material Mavens! How exciting about using the sketching in your art quilts! I WANT to do that, too, but am not sure I have the sketching skills, but this is all about learning new skills and developing and honing ones we already have, right??? What a challenging and rewarding part time job you have, and how fun for the kids you are teaching to knit!

  2. Hi Barbara,
    I went to your flicker site and was thrilled to see your sketches. You have a distinct style that is alive with fun and frivolity. Your work made me smile! So glad to have you in our quilt challenge group!
