I wake up in the middle of the night to sketch art quilts into my sketchbook. Ideas just pop up and I can’t stop them… I can absolutely not go to sleep with all of these ideas in my head. I need to sleep and that’s when I relax my brain. I close my eyes and try to fall into coma. Fifty minutes later I give up.
I turn on the light and reach for my sketchbook…
I draw a square in the middle of the page and start sketching. It’s fabric ideas. I end up with almost 10 different quilt ideas, prompted by material I know I already have.
This is how a project can start. With a big mess of materials that doesn’t look like they will ever come together. Then it evolves from there.
Maybe into something like this:
A small art quilt, only 12 x 13 centimeter. Not counting the tail… A heArt Project married to the art quilt form. And yes, true love. I take off my hat for love.
I take my hat of for Love – an art quilt by Hanna Andersson. For sale at Etsy right now. Sold. Thank you!
Your art quilt is gorgeous! Love the textures, colours..it just oozes love and creativity!

Art quilts are one of those things that I LOVE to look at…yours is no exception to the rule! But whenever I sit down to make one…..the magic doesn’t happen. Yours are amazing!
I love all the details on your valentine. ;-)
Wonderful! I love all the detail in it!
I LOVE this art quilt!! I have so much fabric stashed away, but when I try to do something like this, it doesn’t quite “work” for me… you definitely have a gift!!
I LOVE your art quilt! I have a huge stash of fabric, and have tried to do things like this, but they never quite “work” out for me… you definitely have a gift for it!!
I’m getting this sinking feeling you are going to succeed in influencing me to attempt hand-sewn miniature art quilting now. IT’S FREAKING COOL. Love it! :-)))
