Carol Anne Grotrian began quilting in the early 1980s, and soon discovered shibori, Japan’s ancient tradition of tie-dye. Shibori helped her find my voice in landscape quilts. Carol Anne dyes the fabric for her quilts, using fiber-reactive dyes and indigo. In recent years, she has added the slow stitch techniques of raw edge appliqué and Japanese boro to her love of hand quilting.

Lynne Seaman is a fiber artist living and working in London, UK. She uses abstract landscapes to tell a story about the passage of time, the changing seasons, and the renewal of Spring. Trees are her icons. They represent strength and growth, the end of life, and the renewal of life. Lynne loves the changing colors of the sky at sunrise and sunset and tries to capture this natural wonder in her quilts, often as a vivid background to her abstract tree shapes.
