No Need for Beads

Hand dyed fabric, machine quilted, machine pieced and raw edge applique. I am continually attempting to improve my free motion quilting. This piece gave me that opportunity. Design Source – Original design.

Not Quite My Palette

Commercial fabric sewn Round Robin. Machine pieced, hand quilted. I love working with “left overs” especially left overs that are already pieced strips. Design Source – Original design.

Volute Chambers

Cheryl Reynolds-Fefles

Created in Marjolein Dallinga’s Beyond Resist workshop. By cutting through my partially felted piece, hidden colors appeared and created unique, organic forms.

Harlequin Horned and Winged Bowl

Candace Rich

Stitched entirely in Peyote stitch, which means one bead at a time is picked up and woven into the beadwork — very time-consuming! However, I loved watching the shapes and designs take place in this contemporary geometric design.

Dimensional Fantasy

Candace Rich

A challenging pattern using RAW (Right Angle Weave), DRAW (Double Right Angle Weave), Chenille stitch, and Peyote stitch to create a hollow 3-dimensional structure embellished with pearls, crystals, and crystal rivolis.
