Where do I start when talking about the amazing Amy Karol. This woman is a dynamo.  I met Amy years ago, when Velocity was just a chick (keeping with the theme here folks), and when I was looking for interesting artists in Seattle to show at our store and online.  Amy had just displayed a great set of monotype prints which were perfect for the store. She then created a fantastic series of paintings that incorporated stitching directly into the canvas. I was hooked. It was shortly after that time that I  remember that Amy moved to Oregon to begin raising her new baby, and to continue exploring new artistic territory.  She’s one of the most creative people I have ever had the privilege to work with and know. I can’t remember when it was that I stumbled upon her blog, Angry Chicken, but what a blog it was and has become. She has become her own creative empire, and I can’t be more pleased for her. From her little and big quilts, to multiple websites, recipes, sewing and craft projects, and even a published book, this is one artist who knows no boundaries.  Congrats on all of your success Amy and keep up the inspiring work! 

Here are just a few links to posts on her blog. There are so many interesting and funny posts  that I don’t even know where to begin, so take it from me and visit the Angry Chicken yourself and get lost in all of her creativity.
