So inspiring as always. I like your beaded cubes. I used to do a bit of beading for fun, along with collaging using vintage papers. Now I'm learning crewel, wondering if I can combine it with collaging, art for arts sake you know?
I'm revisiting this wonderfully informative (and interesting!) essay today...as I remember it fondly and I needed some inspiration for the organization of my Wuthering Heights-themed research.
Stunning research and then translating into cloth. As a fellow quilter with copious notebooks and ideas still waiting to be worked I am full of admiration for this project.
I'm full of admiration for your index card usage and management. I tried to use them in one research project, and they turned out to be "Write Only" - I couldn't work out how to get the information back out of them usefully!
I do hope that one of these days I will get to see your work!
Always seems to me that your process and the record cards are as much of the artwork as the actual quilt; but it is the editing that makes the final cut in everything, isn't it?

This has made me feel cosy and inspired reading about your process and seeing your creativity 😊 And a world before Hilary Mantel's Cromwell, no way! 😆
