Aspen Duo
18” x 14”

A pair of sun-printed gingko leaves in a blue/brown palette is reminiscent of a cool fall evening in Aspen.
This quilt is also mounted on a fabric fused to stretched canvas. Framed without glass.

Serenity

19.5" x 14”
The hand-dyed, batik, and polyester fabrics and glass beads were part of the contents of a brown bag challenge. The addition of hand-dyed silk cocoons and ATC created a quilt that was juried into an exhibit at the Whistler House Museum of Art.

Abstract Study: Portals

49.5" x 31"
An abstract study using circles and rectangles is executed in warm, earth tones of hand-dyed, batik and commercial cottons. Energy from the earth radiates from the red circle within the spiral. This piece was in a group of eight quilts that won First Place in the Ultimate Guild Challenge, Knoxville, TN in 2009.

29” x 29”
Fun, comical silk-screened characters show that even the guardians of bad hair can have an off day. The image in the mirror is reverse appliquéd to a paper pieced background and the flourishes are raw edge appliqué.

Pretty in More Than Pink

28.5" x 45.5"
This quilt is a color study of tints and tones in purple, orange, turquoise, lime green and flamingo pink. Each segment is an enlargement of the purple center and contains up to 22 different fabrics within a single color way.

For Tea

16.25" x 21.5"
The vibrant tones of this piece suggest the invigorating capacity that tea can provide. Tea dyed cotton and 80/20 cotton/polyester along with ephemera suggest activities of daily living centered on commerce, communication and eating.

Tranquility

15.25" x 21.5"
Warm tea in the evening can provoke a sense of quietude at the end of a busy day. The soft cool tones of green and the abstract center that contains tea dyed cotton and 80/20 cotton/polyester impart a spirit suggesting relaxation…a focus on only a few things instead of the chaos that is all around us.
