One of my favorite exhibits was this one….
When I think of Cathedral Windows, I think of lots of handwork and fabric manipulation, but not the way that Lisa Ellis makes them!!
Here are a few of the quilts…..be prepared to be wowed!!
This one was made to be reminiscent of Champagne bubbles!!!
This artwork captures the vibrancy and beauty of the color wheel!!
In this quilt, she used the blocks to create and inviting beach scene with sandy shores, cool tea waters, and cloudy skies…..
Look at the wonderful fabrics used in this piece….
This next quilt was Lisa’s first exploration of the mock Cathedral Window block…..
In the next quilt, she limited the color palette and found that strategic placing of fabric colors made distinct shapes emerge…..
This one was a tribute to quilter, Yvonne Porcella….
This quilt explores the color spectrum and gradations using Cherrywood Hand Dyed fabrics…..
This one explores the use of start black and white…..
The falling colored petals in the next quilt evoke the joyous image of confetti thrown in celebration!!
I did an exploration of her work and found two books, one a smaller book that shows photos of her quilts and gives directions for making the blocks using her technique…..
It can be purchased HERE at Amazon
As I said, these were gorgeous and certainly sparked an interest in me…. YES ANOTHER interest!!

I love Lisa’s approach to Cathedral Windows. She gave me permission to teach her technique to our guild. It was a virtual workshop during the pandemic. So fun to do. Love the generosity Lisa had to sharing her “way” with others.
Very cool Christie!! I would love to see some of your quilts!!
