Hi Christine. I just discovered your comment in reply to the above article. Found it today ,March 14, 2022, after The textile Art site published the article about my work as a repeat. I hope you find and read this. Don’t know how to write to you directly. What fun to hear from you. People loved those little birds back in my first two years of being in the Ann Arbor Festival. So glad to know one is still being loved. Fondly, Peggy

On a recent road trip, stopping on a sunny afternoon in Nashville, Ind. I came across your work in their Art Gallery.
I was reminded of the first time I saw your pieces.

The little bird watercolor that my husband and I bought at the Ann Arbor Art Fair in 1970-71 is a treasured piece in our home. to this day.

Thank you.

It is been a long time so hope you get this Angie; wanted to answer a few of your questions. I have a mailing list but no longer teach. Getting up in years and my bones get tired. Also I am not one for the social media – spend all my time making art, not reading about making art. Sorry.
I especially want to thank you for your compliments and do hope that “bright light” is still turned on and your heart is racing. Do get back to me. Thanks, Peggy

Like, I sit here enlarging pieces on my computer screen, studying. I am a watercolor artist who is obsessed with textiles. While I have painted watercolor on unstretched canvas primed with a thin layer of gesso and then added fabrics and quilting, it has not occurred to me to use this medium on any other fabric. Seeing your work is like someone turned on a really bright light in my creative brain that makes my heart race! My mind is racing with possibilities in a whole new way! If you ever decide to start a mailing list, do youtube videos, teach workshops, etc… I’d sure love to be on that list! Your work is just stunning. It evokes such calm.

Thank you for your compliments. I use white cotton flannel as my batting between the top layer (the art) and a backing of normal weight black Kona Cotton. ( Cotton flannel is used a lot for children’s sleep ware etc). And you are right, flannel doesn’t add depth like traditional batting so my surface design textures are what you notice. At times I even paint flannel and use it in my quilt top or as the substrate for my collage. It looks and feels a lot like felt when painted. Peggy

Made an error to my reply above. I meant to say in the second sentence: “At times l paint the paper again after quilting.” Sorry, Peggy

You mention cotton flannel to quilt with. I live in the uk, flannel cloth is it a type of batting or fabric? i see you wouldnt want great depth to detract from the surface marks. Also the ground fabric is this a normal weight cotton? Thank you for sharing your work.
