Minnie - The last of 4 quilts for this mom. This dress was wore year after year each and every time the family visited DisneyLand here in Anaheim, CA! Knowing this history, I had to keep the dress intact and this is how those memories and Minnie were honored! What is most remarkable is finding the border fabric as the dress is years old! It was meant to be. The bubbles quilted all around the dress are poignant and perfect to the overall design.

Nevermore - A small mixed media piece made in response to a mixed media challenge. A kit was received of which you had to use all the materials and add your own.

The Raven - The Raven was created around a challenge to pick a favorite poem and make a quilt to depict the poem. I used a combination of two photos for the background which was painted and quilted to give texture and depth. The foreground of the raven is a photo printed on cloth.

Brown Mouse Lemur - Thread painting, applique and hand painted small ceramic dish

Angels Everywhere - Art quilt consisting of hand stitching, machine stitching, applique, acrylic paint and embroidery.

Gunnr II - Created from a photo image of our Dog, Gunnr. Neocolor II Watersoluble crayons were used to add the color. This was originally a plain, white piece of cotton fabric.

Madre Teresa - Tecnica punto cruz en tela,4800 cuadrados de 1,5 pulgadas,que terminado quedan cuadrados de 1 pulgada.

Cowgirls Just Wanna Have Fun - Based on a photo of my granddaughter at age 2. Home from church on Sunday afternoon, she shed her shoes and socks, grabbed her Dad's hat and saddled her trusty steed for a gallop through the kitchen.

Radial Sonnet - 14-wedge kaleidoscope design using Paula Nadelstern techniques

Dragon Wings - Made for my then local quilting group's challenge competition using Hoffman's Kaleidoscope fabric. Jillian Sawyer's patterns for stained glass lend themselves beautifully to applique.

BrinkOfSunset - Artquilt. Part of All That Jazz/Road to California 2012. Made on a longarm frame using hand dyed fabric

The same star shines on us all - I made this quilt for an event about the underground rail road in Kansas.... this quilt was to reflect African Heritage of those african americans who came to Kansas to be free during the 1850s. This quilt is full of fabrics and symbols. The story of the slaves following the north star to freedom is reflected in the name of the quilt..."the same star shines on us all"....

Joshua's Frogland - Joshua, my grandson, aged 5, loves frogs. This collage quilt, begun in a class taught by Susan Vassallo, features frogs hidden under 3-D leaves and lots of embellishments.

my first born - This is my first attempt at making a portrait quilt of a child. It was done from a snapshot of my daughter when she was about 18 months old, after a July 4th family party and she was about to fall asleep on her feet. (The snapshot is attached to the top of the quilt)

August Afternoon - I often take pictures while traveling and this quilt was inspired by a bed of Black Eyed Susans blowing in the breeze outside an artisan shop in West Virginia.

Baskets in Bloom - This was the first quilt I ever designed and still my favorite.

Compass Point - From a photo taken on New Providence Island, Bahama

Flurry - Original portrait of "Flurry". Beth is a very talented photographer friend of mine and when I saw this photo I asked for the copy rights to reproduce in quilt.
