Mod-Mood Quilt, Summer 2010, 60″ x 62″, hand and machine pieced, hand quilted.
Using a mood-color chart created from hand dyed cotton fabric, I chose colors to match my mood at six different intervals over the summer. I used bias cut strips to piece the curved corners. A discovery that I’m looking forward to exploring more fully in the next piece of this series.

Your gorgeous quilt took my breath away and opened my eyes at the same time – quite a remarkable experience! I will be in San Fransisco in February 2012, is there a way I can contact you?
Your quilt is AMAZING! I love all about it – moodswings(!), curves, quilting. It is fantastic!! I will be studying this for a while… Many warm greetings, Una in Norway
This is the most beautiful quilt I have ever seen.

This is amazing!
Amazing, beautiful quilt. Loved watching it come together. Woohoo!
Post Script – I sold the quilt!
Spectacular, Sherri. And your ‘thanksgiving for the creative process’ is eloquent. Thanks for sharing.
hey Sherri, glad to reconnect, see you are still going round in circles!!
yes we were in the class with the amazing artist who proved to be NOT an amazing teacher!
thanks for your comment on my blog, i’ll go next to your review and hope I come up with something erudite to say!
Wow that is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing your work and your process!
This is such a beautiful quilt, I don’t ever tire of revisiting the photos. GOR-GEOUS! The color/mood graphic is cool, too. Love how you’ve incorporated this little slide show into your blog post. Wish you were located on the east coast. I would love to visit your studio and invite you to my craft room for a cuppa tea.
It was so great to open my email and find your newsletter. Ever learning, after 20 minutes I think I have figured out how to “drop by and say hello.” These quilts are beautiful–it makes me sway and smile–what a gift. I looked at the Torah covers and your documentation is exquisite. You have become quite a photographer! I started writing this summer and am part of a weekly group. I am finding it satisfying in the way you speak about doing your art.
This is, hands down, the most amazing quilt I’ve seen this year!!!! I love it and it will be my next project. Kudos to you Wonder Quilter
and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kim, let me know when you start your own Mod-Mood Quilt. I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
This is SO beautiful! I am in awe. Just amazing.
The Mod-Mood Quilt is so beautiful, so evocative! Your hand quilting really enhances the movement and liveliness of the design. It’s fabulous.
just wonderful.
i am a new quilter – teaching myself but in all honesty spending WAY more time looking at and reading about quilts than actually making one – and this is truly beautiful, truly unique and truly inspirational.
i am excited to get into quilting; thank you for sharing your work.
This is truly one of the most original quilts that I have ever seen. It is fantastic.
i love everything about this quilt… i have been working slowly on a log cabin quilt, making blocks as therapy when i’m having a hard time – it’s made from scraps of print cottons and my stash of colours is rather limited compared to this fabulous spectrum you work from, but still – i love the way a whole range of unconventional colour combinations can come together so harmoniously, so powerfully. your work is so inspirational. thank you for sharing it here….
I think quilt making is great therapy Anna. I know from experience
You can incorporate the idea of choosing colors based on your moods into any quilt you are working on. Even a log cabin. I learned a lot about color and my moods this way.
Oh it’s really just so wonderful!! Amazing quilt.
Thanks Alissa, your quilts are lovely as well.
