Tone's Textile Art

Hope you enjoy and get inspired by my textile art. I have been a quilter and fiber artist for many years, and have enjoyed all aspects of creating artistic, decorative and functional textiles. For the last 5 years my fascination with wool has become an increasingly bigger part of my fiber pieces. The main attraction for me when it comes to wool is the texture, softness and incredible versatility it has. To link to workshops, look at blog archives on the right under May 2023.

Flowers at Biltmore, Asheville North Carolina

Had a chance to visit Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC last week. My girls had spring break, so we took a road trip over the mountain. The weather was great, as was the company. It couldn't have been a better day. The feature at the estate was a Downton Abby costume exhibit, showing costumes from all seasons of the show throughout the big house. Cannot show pic from that since they don't allow photographs. Instead I wanted to post a few of the orchids from the green houses, just thought they were worth showing. Possibly inspiration for future quilts.
