Snow Daze - This is the most challenging quilt I have made so far. Each snowflake consists of hundreds of tiny pieces of fabric, "fussy cut" using plastic templates, and pieced with 1/4" seams. No curved piecing or applique was involved. Snowflake patterns are Paula Nadelstern, and quilting was inspired by Diane Gaudynski. Snowflake close-ups and explanations of the process can be seen in the "My Personal Photos" section.

Taylor's Quilt - Made from 30's reproduction fabric. Her name is appliqued across the rows of the sashing. Each of her names was 6 letters.

Times Portal & Blue Vortex Travels - My design is based on a photograph I took and tweaked in a software program, & printed onto fabric. I used Beth Wheeler's Altered Photography method for enhancing the fabric photograph with threadpainting. I then designed the mosaic around the quilted fabric photo. In physics, a wormhole is a hypothetical feature of space-time that is essentially a "shortcut" through space and time. I have a lively imagination and enjoy to read a _lot_! I made this quilt while thinking of the possibilities of instant time and place travel. What If...... ?
