4 Hearts United by a Thread - This piece represents a full elaboration of the lines and color series, where ribbons of primary colors appear woven together in complex patterns that interact with the ambient light to produce a changing image depending on the light, viewing angle and distance. From the background to the foreground, the color layers are increasingly organized, each layer supporting the next, until the salient motif emerges in yellow: four hearts from a continuous loop which spans the entire quilt, all connected by tread.

Interwoven - New technology is nodding to tradition in this piece, inspired by the traditional rail fence block. Yellow and Red ribbons of color appear woven together is a repetitive design. Blue and green ribbons are similarly linked underneath. The overall effect is a web of colors, interwoven into an ever changing image based on lighting, angle of vision and distance, where line and color are set in motion. Complexity emerges out of simplicity.

Big Boodee Trudee - A guild challenge to use M. Miller's lava lamp soul sisters fabric; used the color wheel to pick my coordinating fabrics and appliqued on the flowers and the rest. I thought the fabric called for a round quilt. I added beads as a final touch after i machine quilted it.

Tutti Frutti - I needed a quick quilt that was colorful for a show that my guild had at a gallery. I used stack and slash, and I used a varigated thread in the border and added beads.

Stained Glass - This is one of those UFOs-i didn't know enough about how to baste back then so i had trouble quilting it. I know alot more now and it won't be a UFO for too much longer!

I Can Still Hear Your Voice - I made this quilt after my twin died. She had Down Syndrome, died of ovarian cancer. Pictures are slides from our life together and with my family. I wrote phrases she would say around the pictures, which gave the quilt its name.

I'm Passionate about Pansy's - One of my first multi-hooped embroidered quilts. The designs are just gorgeous when stitched out, and the flowers on black are my all time favorite.

QP's Last Hurrah - This quilt was the last "First Saturday" Block of the Month from Quilter's Palette which was located in Morton Grove, IL. The shop closed in July 2006. I gave it as a baby quilt to my sister's granddaughter - who was almost 14 months old by the time I finished it!!

Snowman Mantel Quilt - My granddaughter, Hannah Good, loves snowmen. My daughter Anne used to live in Oak Park, Illinois, but she and her husband Matt now live in Nashville, Tennessee, where it doesn't snow that much. I promised Hannah a snowman quilt for their use at Christmastime.

"It's A Deal" - This quilt was made as a thank you gift for a very generous person who did me a HUGE favor. Coincidentally, her daughter is a big fan of the "Wizard Of Oz" so it really struck a cord for her family! The blues and yellows of this quilt just sang to me.
