Made using Ricky Tims' convergence quilting method. It's on a curved hammock for this photo, which made it look somewhat more crooked than it really is.

Yesterday I drove to Parrsboro to retrieve my quilts from the Art Lab Exhibit. No sales - wasn't expecting any. Lots of nice comments in the guest book, though. When we were hanging the quilts three weeks ago, Michael asked me if I'd ever tried a quilt using the Fibonacci Sequence of numbers (0, 1, 1, 2,…
Pictures - It started as a Convergence Quilt .... - I think I had better stop adding to this quilt!

And I used the same gold metallic thread for the 'animal tracks' in…

I'M SEW HAPPY: Convergence Quilt - My First

She mentioned that she had seen some Harmonic Convergence quilts on the internet, perhaps Pinterest? So of course I did some researching as soon as I…
