I found these beautiful woven samples by American textile designer, Dorothy Liebes over on I'm Revolting (Love everything she posts. All. Of. The. Time.). They were originally posted on The Design Center of Philedelphia University's tumblr. Wow. If you love fabric and fiber, be sure to take a stroll through that treasure trove of inspiration.

I discovered Building Block via Montmarte over the weekend. Love the beauty in all of her subtle pieces -- from bags to quilts. I wish I could find out more about her...if you know anything let me know. ;)

Ben Venom recently worked on a comminssioned quilt for Pirate Press. Here Ben shares with us images and a few words on his most extensive quilt to date so far. Ben will be showing new work at Guerrero Gallery in November. - meighan
The Pirates Press Quilt was a commissioned piece by Owner / Operator Eric “Skippy” Mueller. The shirts are some from his own collection and those his label represents. The design is a combination of the Pirate Press logo with the Pirate Press Records logo. The quilting pattern (Red Stitching) forms a pirate ship when viewed from a distance. Measuring roughly 6' x 7'...the quilt is currently hanging behind Eric's desk in his office. It took me roughly 2 months to complete and was one the more challenging pieces I have made in recent years.

Wow, I am still sick! Can you believe this nonsense?! So I am going to keep the posts pretty short word-wise, but that should be cool as I know you are all here to just look at pretty pictures. Which is a good thing as I have a ton today to post!
First up is my studio visit with Sarah Applebaum. Gah. I was mesmerized in her studio with the layers and piles of so many different textiles of color. I was starting to not feel well when I stopped by her studio a week and a half ago...and I have to say the shots of color and inspiration I got while I was there for such a short time was like a shot of vitamin c. I almost skipped home. I can't describe what color does to me. So I'll just let these photos of Sarah's work and studio do the talking for me.
