Robin Ferrier is an artist who makes quilts. She uses hand-dyed fabrics and plain fields of color to create pieces that are vibrant and bold. Her emphasis is on the beauty of organic shapes and line, and the diversity and flexibility of color. Currently her time is split between two series - the whimsical cheerful mostly-white nursery quilt, and the more serious sophisticated art quilt. Robin resides on Maui with her husband, three children and a menagerie of small animals.

Thank you so much for featuring my books! I’m honored.

a simple pause…

Now with that little quilt behind me and a certain fullness that comes with accomplishment, I have the time to pause for just a little and think about what’s coming next.  I still have this beauty on the quilting machine just waiting for me to finish it, but my mind is telling me it wants...

Ooh, fun! My favorite sketch is the lower right one that’s mostly houses. :-)

New Work!

Quiltlet #21 17 3/4″ x 17 3/4″ It’s always fun finishing something… even if it is something small and similar to something you’ve done in the past.  It makes me think that the month of April is not all lost!  I’m hoping you too are having fun at whatever you are doing!  Cheers!

Good Friday…

Building Update

Part of the reason why I’ve been absent here has to do with my preoccupation with our house plans.  It’s been almost a year now that we’ve owned the property… longer since the seed of the dream was planted… and now we are in the stage of finalizing the major plans.  Early March changed things...

Yowzer! I’m sure debris removal and contingency planning weren’t what you wanted to be doing. Glad to hear what you’ve been up to and hope your dream keeps evolving!
