Pleased to Introduce Myself - quilthexle!

"My draft of space"
My name is Frauke Schramm aka quilthexle, and I blog at quilthexle's world. That's my virtual log, where I record my creative journey. I'm a textile artist and a quilter and I blog about my creative work - when everything goes smoothly or not, when I feel the journey becomes more difficult. Occasionally I add tidbits of my personal life and my real-life surroundings. Or some pictures - for inspiration or just for the fun of it. I find it especially important to write in an uplifting, positive and humourous style. I want my readers to leave my blog smiling ;-)) And I want to encourage my readers to jump into action - asking "what if?" takes us to the heart of our creative journey!
"Winter Puzzle"
I consider myself an "emerging artist". This year, I had two quilts at the "Festival of Quilts" in Birmingham, UK - these are the two I'm showing off in this blogpost. In the summer of 2011 I registered for a class with Nancy Crow - which scares me to no ends, but gives me a lot of excitement, too. There are sooo many artists out there who all say - "I took a class with Nancy Crow and EVERYTHING changed" - I'm looking forward to this experience.
And I'm looking forward to become a part of "The Art Quilt Blog" - to get to know more artists from all over the world. So, to a pleasant journey for all of us together! If you want to know more about my quilts, my workstyle, me ... I'll be happy to answer almost every question ;-))
Happy quilting,
Frauke aka quilthexle
