I made this quilt in response to the Quiltcon Fabric Challenge for 2025. You may recognize the design as I initially designed it for Ego & Artifex, another challenge I took part in recently.

Fragment is my response to patCHquilt challenge, Ego & Artifex. We were asked to choose an artwork from the permanent collection of the Kunsthaus in Zurich and use it as inspiration to create a quilt. The idea was not to replicate it but rather use the colours, shapes, … as a starting point. Fragment est ma réponse au challenge de patCHquilt, Ego & Artifex.

Interaction II is my response to the Pantone Quilt Challenge which features Viva Magenta, Pantone’s 2023 colour of the year. Interaction II est ma réponse au Pantone Quilt Challenge qui présente Viva Magenta, Couleur Pantone pour 2023. The organizers of the challenge suggested a few colorways from different brands of solid fabrics. It is just a guide though since none of them are exact match to the Pantone swatch. I had in my stash the two Kona colours suggested and I decided to incude both in my project. Kona Crush which I used for the striped area and which also… +

Girl Power is my response to the Red Shoes Challenge put together by patCHquilt, the Swiss Quilters Association. Basically, the guidelines were : a contemporary style quilt of up to 100 cm x 100 cm, the colour red being a key point in the design. But when our president first introduced the challenge in the newsletter, she referred to Red Shoes as a symbol of fight against violence towards women, as well as strength and confidence. I chose to work on the positive side of the symbolic as I prefer my quilts to be happy and energizing. A way to… +

Shed is my entry into Windham Fabrics challenge for Quiltcon 2023.To my husband, the saw tooth shape and the coal and brick colours suggested industrial buildings of the 19th century. It resonated with me, so I decided to name my quilt after that idea. Shed is a word borrowed from the English language and used in French to refer to saw tooth roofs in industrial architecture. Historically a part of the roof was made out of glass to bring day light inside the workshop. I quilted diagonal lines for depicting ray of light. Shed est mon entrée pour Quiltcon 2023… +
