Fingertrap

by Jamie Siel

The combination of simple units come together to create an intricate woven look that is reminiscent of a novelty toy that many of us played with as kids.

This was one of those accidental designs you get when playing with basic shapes. My HSTs and QSTs ended up in a cool weave pattern and I just ran with it from there.

Jamie is a quilter and high school science teacher living in Houston, TX. Though she loved math and science classes growing up, she was also that creative kid that always had a ton of crafty projects (and messes) going on at once. She first learned to sew at 7 years old on her grandmother’s 1950s green metal Singer and loved sharing that special sewing time together. After trying out what seemed like every craft genre, she found a love of quilting in her 20s. Jamie is huge fan of big blocks, bright colors, and solid fabrics that give her work a graphic design feel. She loves to create bold geometric patterns that use simple shapes and combinations that let the fabrics shine and are also accessible to quilters of all skill levels.
