Bio: Elaine Quehl is a Canadian quilt artist, teacher, and fabric dyer/designer who is best known for her dramatic and colourful nature-themed art quilts featuring luscious foliage (particularly hosta leaves), flowers and trees. All fabric used in her artwork is hand-dyed by the artist to provide the wide range of values she employs to create depth, drama, and contrast, and to read like nature’s dappled light. Each art quilt is also abundantly textured with free-motion stitching.

A Design Journey:
A design primer that is packed with information, tips, and images about good composition. Elaine shares examples of her earlier work, along with ideas on how they might be improved. The presentation starts with basic principles that you can use right away to give your work more impact and then moves into more complex principles that you can introduce as you grow in your art practice.   http://elainequehl.com/index.html
