Welcome!
Rainforest
30" x 24"
private collection
My quilts are a mix of traditional and art quilting techniques. I love color. My designs are often inspired by the beauty of nature and the changing seasons. I like to use shapes from nature and play with them, experimenting with color and texture. Sometimes designs come from the fabrics I find and sometimes from just an idea, what would happen if I did...? I enjoy learning new ways of doing things and changing things from what they were before. Quilts are my passion, joy and connection to the creative spirit in all of us.
