Machine appliqué – fused, blanket stitch, machine quilted. All went well until the end – not enough fabric for the borders! Good friend, Deb Szott, sacrificed one of her lovely muumuus to finish this quilt!! Talk about real friendship!! We call Debbie Cimaglio’s quilting “Tiny Bubbles” for Don Ho!

Machine appliqué fused. Machine quilting. Leftovers from Hawaiian Appliqué #3 made this quilt a natural – but done in a more contemporary fabric & feeling. Donna Derstadt’s “Tiny Bubbles” quilting (thanks, Don Ho) continues the theme and enhances the quilt.

Machine paper piecing, machine quilting. I dislike purple and detest orange but the focus fabric was too nice to pass up. The total experience of working with unloved colors was eye-opening. Quilted by Debbie Cimaglio.

Machine paper piecing, machine appliqué. A fascinating pattern – easy to piece but difficult to put together well. The title says it all. Machine quilted by Paula Rostkowski.

Frame loom weaving with a variety of yarns. The movement of a volcano is impressive.

I put different fabrics together & free motion quilted by machine. With heads and tails as the subject, I chose worms in the garden as an example.

Knitting, crochet, knotting, sewing – man made or natural yarn accounts for the various shades of WHITE used in this piece. Texture defines areas of islets and sea. The rhythm of the knotted areas suggests the mesmerizing tunes which drew the unaware toward her inner sanctum.

Knitting, padding, sewing – all by hand. As a minimalist, I marvel at the exquisite design of industrial materials and I like taking bold steps to disclose the beauty in the ordinary.
