Towards Beachy HeadDebbi Plato
Fabric mosaic, watercolor, hand stitched, machine quilted. This is one of my favorite views along the coast near my home in Sussex, England. The cliffs fall dramatically into the sea.

Not So Easy PiecesBeth Polonsky
Machine pieced & machine quilted. I took a class with Margaret Miller. I wasn’t real fond of the colors and the “calico” prints. So after many many years I decided to “round robin” in batiks. I love the transition from old fabrics to new.
