Machine pieced background; hand appliqued elements; hand embroidery. Developed during a Heidi Parkes workshop, I was inspired by all the decaying barns evident all over the Midwest. 

Hand dyed “paper cloth” for background, machine appliqued; hand embroidered. I would see these beautiful colors in the early morning of winter as the sun started to come up.     

Machine pieced, fused applique, machine quilted. This piece is inspired by a newspaper photograph of Frank Gehry’s residential high rise building in New York City. I was fascinated by all the undulating curves and by the vertical flat sections that seemed to be like rivers running up the sides of the structure.
