It’s Spring!
I finished…I think…another quilt in the Texture Series, Lines and Circles. This quilt is a tribute to the colors of spring…the bright green of the new growth, the purple of the crocus, and the rich black of the “good”

Smaller Feather Quilt
I’m still exploring how to use dimensional elements on my quilts. I’m making 12 X 12 inch quilts for two reasons…one, because I can try many different applications in a shorter amount of time, and, two, because my donation for
