I had loads of left over scraps and any size suitable of making a yo-yo the pile grew- so made up a quillt with vases of flowers -   If I remember there are over 300 yo-yos-

I have lost "precision" nowadays but do not care anymore about that, my quilting is not my forte and I put this quilt together row by row if I remember easier to handle the size

The Gateway Quilt Guild in Merced, CA has a "challenge fabric" contest each  year.  The quilts are displayed at our annual quilt airing held in May of each year.  The members vote and the winner receives a prize.  My quilt won 1st place this year.  My son-in-law has the "hUE" Hair Salon in town and the quilt will be hung in his shop.  It was really fun to do something completely different from what I usually do.

This is a wool applique quilted wall hanging that I made after taking a class from Sue Spargo in the summer of 2015. It started as a depiction of my little fairy garden, but I just couldn't stop adding to it. There are five fairies who depict my grandchildren as fairies. Check out the cat peeking from behind the upturned garden pots on the lower right. Over by the tree on the left you'll see Snow White. I collect memorabilia that depicting so her and they dwarfs and just couldn't do this piece without her. I feel that this is one of the most enjoyable and best pieces I've ever done.

In spring 2016, I took a course called "Art, Activism, and Social Justice" at Texas Woman's University where I live. For the final project we had the option of making an art piece accompanied by a six-page essay on a social issue that continues to plague the United States. My paper had to do with patriarchal tactics used to silence women throughout the development of this country. This is the quilt I made to accompany the writing. The center is composed of a dimensional screaming face oozing from the background of the quilt. Within her mouth is written the word "silence." Quilted within the black borders of the background are the titles of books written by African American women from the '30s to today. The point...even with the male-dominated rule, women have been speaking. 

This quilt was started on a cruise to Alaska.

I love applique, so thought I'd make this one.

I learned Englsh Paper Piecing and Broderie Purse making this quilt,

I loved this alphabet quilt.

This is my second quilt using Louisa L. Smith's "Strips n Curves" book. It includes some Broderie Purse with some of the horse images. The border fabric has a subtle broken barbed wire fence motif, which I found appropriate for the horses running free on the range. Hence, the name "Don't Fence me In"

Moonscape is a body landscape.

"Canyon of My Mind2" is an abstract of a photo taken at Antelope Canyon.

Canyons of My Mind3 is part of my canyon series, abstract interpretations of photos taken during a trip to Page, Arizona, visit Antelope Canyon.

"Canyons of My Mind4" is an abstract interpretation of a photo taken at Antelope Canyon.

This is the second in a series of confetti pieced seasonal art quilts.
