Del~Lillian's The Story

Fiber Artist, Designer, and Author
Fabric and Sewing has been a part of my life since childhood, But quilting didn't arrive until around 1988.

After making some scrap quilts for my sons, I was hooked.

In 2012 it was my pleasure and joy to open my Etsy Shop.

This is the beginning of how Del~Lillian’s, as a Quilt Shop began:

On a warm summer day, I sat in my sewing room, spinning around on a twrily chair…
taking in all the piles of fabric. (My Collections had grown by heaps and bounds since 1988!)

There wasn't enough of any fabric group to make a traditional style quilt.

But what if I used all those scraps, strips, and orphan blocks to create something Artsy?
This became a personal challenge to use up the leftover fabrics.
Using up leftovers, making them into unique and useful items became the Mission of Del~Lillian’s Contemporary, Modern, Fiber Art.

I enjoy making quilts that are unique, quirky, and a little crazy.
Many of my designs are created spontaneously.
Some are designed with on a computer.
Some begin as doodles.

Part of the joy of making an abstract art quilt is unleashing the creative side.
It makes you look at color, shape, and design, in a new and different way.
I also enjoy the traditional side of quilting, it keeps my skills balanced.

You'll find both the traditional and the modern in my shop.

I create pieces that I hope will fill the lives of my customers with much joy and happiness.
I am inspired by music and nature.

I believe Creativity can come in all sorts of ways
"Arts & Crafts, baking & Cooking, home decor, music and writing.
All of these things are part of my life "
