Have you ever created quilts with a glue stick?.....Celebrating Freddy Moran's collage technic!

They say that Necessity is the Mother of Invention........Is that what they say, I am known to mix up my adages.....I have been quilting for 6 years and 2 months and it has been a journey.....I aspired to be the gifted quilters that my great grandmother, grandmother, mom, aunt and sister were.....within 9 months of beginning to quilt I found myself in therapy....YEP! I wanted to be 'perfect' and was not squaring up my corners, lining up my lines and found myself distraught with the creative process.....and then, I discovered glue sticks and novelty fabric....the rest is history and Freddy Moran's current style of COLLAGE could not be more welcomed by me! I celebrate her and the beauty of cutting up fabric and making quilts! Hope you enjoy my glue stick creations over the years in this gallery post.....
