This fabric was painted & sunprinted with natural plants. Free motion threadwork was then done on top only. Finally it was free-motion quilted. After centerpiece was painted and stitched, the borders were designed & thread painted. The “natural” theme was carried out with the free-motion quilting.

Hand cut circles were arranged in a composition. Free-motion threadwork and quilting hold layers together. This has been designed with all polyester fabric. The grid / lattice was achieved with soldering, a technique I recently learned. Can you figure out the name?

Wet felted with various wool fibers, with some inclusions. First the fibers were felted around dowel rods. These were mounted on base and illuminated from the base.

Mosaic technique learned in a workshop. Free motion machine quilted. Fused hand-dyed fabrics. This piece should evoke life’s passages. Some are in good times – some in difficult times. Often times there is more that one choice of path to follow…hence life’s journey.

Applique, machine quilted. This is an original design of scrolls based on a technique class with Cara Gulati. It is a color exercise in order to get “dimension” and “movement” within. Extensive machine quilting added to the movement. A fun quilt to make.

“Fractured Images” technique created with fabric panels. Heavy thread embellishment both on quilt top and with quilting of quilt. I loved this panel and I loved the technique, so combined these for this quilt. A math sequence gives the effect of shimmering or “fracturing” with the cutting of squares.
