This post is in the middle of redoing photos….
Well, to get to know me and my work, here is a sample of some of my recent quilts and a process picture of one of them. These are made in my probably non “quilt police” approved method, that resulted from a series of what happens if…. questions. I also don’t do bindings.
The first post below this one, gives you some information about me and what got me to this point, if you are interested. I ramble a bit, but it gives a general background.
Antique Irises and Tulips
Antique Irises and Tulips- This was the first larger quilt I made fusing scraps of wonder undered farics to batting, then satin-stitched tha fused sandwiches to each other until I had the base of the piece. The flowers are cut from other fabrics and fused, then quilted down.
20″ x 23 1/2″
Summer Rainbow
Summer Rainbow- The center medallion is a sunprint of flowers and leaves arranged over rainbow painted fabric. This is the second piece using fused scrap pieces. The setting triangles and corner blocks.
30 1/2″x30 1/2″June 2006 Journal- This was my first experiment with stitching pieces together with black thread to resemble stained glass.
8 1/2″ x 11″
20″ 23 1/2″
Right- Finished piece
26 1/2″ x 34″
This is my newest finished piece- the first of 2007! My biggest problem entering shows is the size requirement. I am trying to do some larger pieces along with my usual smaller pieces.

I am a former textile artist and new pattern designer with a degree in horticulture, wishing to share my love of nature, flowers and gardens with everyone through my photos, sunprinted fabrics, and now pattern designs. Chronic Lyme Disease has caused major changes to the direction my life. I have to limit the amount of time spent digging in my gardens, and quilting has become more difficult. I discovered pattern design as a way to get art back into my life. I now use my gardens and photos to inspire designs that can be used on fabrics and print on demand items.
I checked out your website and your work is really lovely. Your quilts are wonderful!
very cool stuff
