Watercolor Garden - After studying with Phil Beaver and making a floral applique, I wanted to see how the same handpainted fabrics would work in a traditional pieced format.

Lauren's quilt - To celebrate the memory of the camping trip we took to Assateague with our 7 year old granddaughter, I made this quilt with photo images of some of the highlights of the trip. The batik backing was of running horses, and horses are of major importance to her. Assembly was great fun, and all colors came from my scrap stash, blending with the batik.

The Awakening - While taking a Self Expressions class with Quilt University I designed this quilt to represent my work before taking the class (where I primarily made traditional patterned quilts) and my current efforts (I aspire to more creative and free with design, quilting and embellishments). The clocks represent the approximate time I began considering dinner preparation before and after my new approach. I now tend to become so immersed in the planning and the creative process that time disappears.
