InTheWoods Series
Nature is interpreted in abstract movements of shadows and change. Backgrounds are created using bleached and machine sewn fabrics on wool or handcrafted minature quilts. Each 'canvas' is enhanced with hand stitched appliqué and embroidery.
Remnant Gems Series
Celebrations of natural surroundings are meticulously created with cast off fabrics, vintage textiles, and trims. Raw edge scraps are layered to add depth and rich detail. Machine quilting secures and enhances the backgrounds while hand appliqué, specialty threads, beads, and buttons add surprising details to enjoy.
Nostalgic Appliqué
Favorite locations intertwine to transport the admirer on a trip down memory lane. Worn vintage blankets are the backdrops to imagined stories and completely hand appliquéd to celebrating the skills of women past. The works come to life when further enhanced with embroidery, buttons and beads.
