April 5th, 2011Essay on design
January 27th, 2010Dawn Goldsmith, editor of “Subversive Stitchers: Women Armed with Needles,” asked me to write about my design techniques. See my essay at http://subversivestitch.blogspot.com/2010/01/swirl-of-inspiration-keeps-helen-remick.html. I talk a bit about technique and a bit about mathematical inspiration.
Spirals
November 16th, 2009A trip to Paris in 2003, so many things to see: I took photos of staircases. When I got home, I found Ned May’s  Custom Fibonacci Spiral Generator and began designing quilts with spirals.
This fall, IQA sponsored a contest for photos which inspired quilts. My photo of the stairwell in the Arc de Triomphe was included, and was the photo from the exhibit chosen for the Houston program.

When in Paris, don’t miss the Unicorn tapestries at the Musee national du Moyen Age, in the Latin Quarter. Stunning.
