Drawn to color

I have always been drawn to the outdoors.

Flowers, trees, sunsets, water, and landscapes are

my passion. Lately I have been drawn to color.

Bright COLORS.

I have added them to my palette.

After all fabric is like paint.

 I paint with fabric and show you my little world.

Welcome to Cedar Ridge Studio the place where

Mary Ann Van Soest creates art.
My newest quilts, Rocky Shores and Shoreline.

International Quilt Festival

 It was a busy week attending the International Quilt

Festival with Judy Tucker. She was a nice gal.

 We both demonstrated at the Open Studios.

It was very informative. I learned why it is

important for the sleeve to extend to the top of the quilt.

To hang properly.

 As you can see the quilts with water reflections

caught my eye. This beauty at the sea shore 

was a good example. What a nice quilt.

 These two reflected quilts were also awesome.

I was up close and looking at the stitching.

So much to learn by looking at other

quilts.
