Grand Slice - Grand Slice was inspired by a September 2013 raft trip through the Grand Canyon. Andy Hutchinson is piloting the historic cataract boat the "Sandra" at the bottom of the quilt.
Wish For Tomorrow to Come - 50 X 35 Wall Hanging, all cotton, myriad of threads, beads, stitches, fibers. Started project during a very emotional time in my life, able to process those with the help of the creative process.
Citrus Fizz - I made this quilt for my friend Kathy as she loves citrus colours. Constructed in 12 inch quilt as you go blocks with a funky scalloped border for interest.
Savannah - I made this quilt for my nephew Jack. It is a commercial jungle print . The green represents the wet season and the yellow, the desserts of Africa.
Loves Labour - My 14 year slow project. Quilted and appliqued by hand whilst nursing my son after a car accident in 2001. Nearly done now. Just have the border to do.
Flora Italia - I love the therapy of hand applique. It somehow slows down time and takes the stress out of the day. I used broderie persie and ruching.
Resting Under the Weeping Willow Tree - Applique portrait of a cat. Hand dyed gradient fabric pieced in Ricky Tims' harmonic convergence style to give a sense of filtered light. Quilted in weeping willow branches/leaves pattern. Embellished with a silk scarf. Displayed in the wall quilt category at PIQF.
Rainbows - Added piano key borders and matching bargello shams. Every seam on the quilt is quilted with tiny free-motion designs - leaves, stars, hearts, flowers, suns, stars, waves.
