Inspiration comes during the work itself, with ideas rushing in as she arranges and then re-arranges the pieces of fabric. “Experimentation and fun definitely fuel my quilted projects, and that has to be the reason I’ve fallen in love with it,” she reflects.

“I began quilting late 2013 when working for a fabric manufacturer,” she recalls. “I’d done many digital quilt designs there and understood the basic steps and terminology, and I thought that was enough to start on a project on my own. I dove right into a king-sized quilt using that experience.” Her love affair with textile art has grown steadily stronger ever since.

Though abstract, the finished quilts present a colorful landscape that is dictated by patterns and shapes. Uneven seams, raw edges, and exposed thread ends aren’t tucked away nicely but rather highlighted, with the hand of the artist present in every detail. These marks, notes Marañon, become the signifiers of reactionary behaviors and moods specific to each piece and its materials. Enjoy some of her work in the gallery below:

Quilting has been around for centuries, and those of us who are familiar with the craft probably think of it as something Grandma likes to do in her spare time. But Hartman has a whole new take on this traditional craft, which brings it straight into the 21st century.

Hartman creates her own designs and makes quilts that depict the natural world. Each design focuses on a different part of that world: one quilt is about forest animals, another is about sea creatures. The animals are made of bright, colorful fabrics that give each a unique personality. Together they create a beautiful, happy quilt that can decorate a bed or hang on a wall, bringing a splash of color to any room.

Hartman doesn’t just make those blankets for herself – she’s a quilt designer, and sells her designs online, so that everybody can buy and make their own version of her quilts.

Scroll down to take a look at Hartman’s colorful creation – maybe you’ll get inspired to pick up a needle and thread yourself!
