I am a 're-maker', taking inspiration from found objects and working them into something new.
Although my background is in textiles, I now work predominantly with plastic.
I love art with an element of fun and the unexpected, and hope my work will make you smile!

Did you know that there are health benefits to doing puzzles?
"Studies have found that when we work on a jigsaw puzzle, we use both sides of the brain, and spending time daily working on puzzles improves memory, cognitive function and problem solving skills."
Did you know that you can have a jigsaw puzzle created from a photo of one of your quilts?
Did you know that there is a whole section of the TQS website dedicated to puzzles and games?

Yoko Saito is a quilting leader in the use of quiet shades of taupe and fastidious attention to detail. This year a special exhibit at the International Great Quilt Festival in Tokyo will feature the work of her group of students to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Beatrix Potter with "The World of Peter Rabbit." Patricia Belyea at Okan Arts has written about Yoko and visiting the festival to see the exhibit.
Star Members can learn more about Yoko Saito in Episode Show 1505 with Priscilla Noble: East Meets West. Priscilla is a quilter familiar with the Japanese design aesthetic and was the obvious (authorized) choice to translate, publish, and distribute the works of Yoko Saito.
