Female: Coline, you have expensive taste. Well you brought some of these fabulous quilts
with you today that I like to spend some time on. The first ones called Botanica.
It’s incredible. Now how did you do this?
Coline: Well it’s the same process that I used for Botanically Correct, but on a larger
scale. But just like Botanically Correct, all those leaves are true life leaves that I
used. Including that really large one in the middle.
Female: You're kidding me, where did you get that leaf?
Coline: Out of my yard.
Female: Well that’s what rain brings.
Coline: That’s right.
Female: That’s a real leaf. I thought it was maybe something that you faked cut out or
something like that.
Coline: No, and I'm sorry I can't remember the Latin name for it and I don’t know if it has
a common name. My kids call it the Elephant Ear.
Female: It’s hard at home for everyone to appreciate how large this quilt is, this is a very
large quilt.
Coline: And that's a small leaf of that plant.
Female: Really?
Coline: It get about 6 feet tall.
Female: Wow. And now we can look at Eclipse. Tell us about this quilt please.
Coline: Eclipse is again a discharge to quilt. And I was trying to capture kind of the
movement of the planets around each other. And dance of the celestial spheres.
Female: And how long have you been planning with this process?
Coline: About 6 years.
Female: 6 years?
Coline: 7 years.
Female: Do you feel like you're just beginning with it and there is so much more you can
do?
Coline: I can think of a million things to do.
Female: Oh man. Now Solar Energy. Tell us about this please.
Coline: That was a quilt that is in Quilt National, so I'm really proud of that. And it’s the
same kind of a process of discharging. I added paper piece bordering.
Female: Now those are plaids, and I guess plaids would work because it essentially a plaid
is a two sided fabric also.
Coline: Just make sure that it is and that it’s not a printed plaid.
Female: That’s very subtle. Very subtle, but it’s there. And then Emerald City.
Coline: Emerald City is where I pieced my shadows in rather than discharging them. So I
used all kinds of techniques to create some depth in quilting.
Female: Well I would think with the discharge way, it would almost be easier than piecing
that in, isn't it?
Coline: Oh, that’s a piece of cake. This quilt.
Female: Really?
Coline: Yeah.
Female: Oh man. Thank you so much for coming Coline
