Maisons sans Frontieres (Houses without Borders) - My quilt depicts a future where people who were once divided by political, ethnic or social borders are beginning to live in peace. One house from each section has made the transition to live in harmony with its neighbours from the other section.

Go past the bushes and turn at the rocks - This is my rendering from memory the view on the reservation in Shiprock, NM. There is lots of sand then huge rocks jut out of the ground. The sky can be quite open and beautiful. I hope this quilt gives the feeling of strength and peace in the vast openness of New Mexico. I used my hand dyed cotton and silk to make this along with a few commercial fabrics. I embellished with thread that had come from my hand dyed fabric. After each washing I collected the strings off the fabric and waited to put them on the right quilt. They are the bushes and weeds in this quilt.
