Carrying On II
This is the second piece in the Carrying On series, based on the parfleche cylinder shape. It is probably most recognizable as a tribute to a Native utensil because of its presentation and the suede fringe. My concept for the

Carrying On I
This is the second piece I completed using woven cotton strips. I combined them with fabric I painted and quilted VERY densely. I thought I would quilt in a larger circular pattern, but it added too much texture and competed

A Pair…Felted and Painted
I found these two pieces lived well together. The top piece is a felted construction, painted, layered and quilted. The bottom piece is a yellow/purple combo, with very loosely applied textural dots. I was hoping the two would sell together,

aka SQUEEZE BOX
I just finished a quilted felt construction titled SQUEEZE BOX…aka, an accordion. When I started the piece, I didn’t know it would take that direction. I assembled the piece rotated 180 degrees (upside down) from the way you see

Quilt Hanging System
I installed a new system to display my quilts in the studio. This rack was originally used to organize architectural plans, but serves my purpose beautifully. I still have some quilts hung separately on the walls, but this “rack” allows

Untitled, as of now…
My newest felt construction mounted on a 12×24 gallery canvas. I left the irregular edges to extend beyond the face of the canvas. I cut each section, painted some of them, and layered the felt pieces three to four deep. To

Woven felt
I am continuing to use felt in different iterations. This time, quilted, layered, stitched and woven, mounted on a gallery canvas. The weaving is so inticing…let’s go larger! Happy Holidays…from the studio

I have finished my fused quilt! I am pleased with how easily it quilted and how flat it finished. The pieces do not look separate and layered…much to my surprise. When I finished the quilting, I thought it

How time flies! A few weeks ago, I started on a new quilt. I am using a technique that I haven’t used before, but that many people have used for years…FUSING. I had a design in my head and I
