    Default Cutting Glass is Interfering With Quilting

    I had to organize my glass studio in order to make room for ...more glass! Just like organizing my sewing area, I found pieces to inspire projects! Here are a few of those projects. I hope you enjoy.

    Very pretty! Always good to have more then one hobby and many glass patterns can be appliqué projects too.

    Your pieces are lovely! I especially love the humor of the flamingo with the sun glasses. Stained glass is a craft I really admire. Please share more of your pieces as you work on them!

    What beautiful work! Thanks for sharing. I went to a specialty glass shop for some glass for light boxes over my fireplaces and it was very hard to choose the glass. I was only getting panels. I cannot imagine choosing the glass for artwork like yours! Nicely done!

    Your glass work is beautiful! Most quilters are multi-talented and you show such creativity.

    Actually, the seashell mosaic was made from an applique on an earlier quilt!

    Beautiful work!
    For many years we had an amazing quilt shop called The Glass Thimble. The wife had quilting and the husband had glass. I wish they didn't retire and move to Florida haha
