Collaboration V


The photogra- pher is my husband and the photo is printed on fabric. The quilt is 37" square. Cotton, beading and hand quilting.

Collaboration I,II, and III

Picture taken in Fall of 1973. I started quilting in 1984, but I think this previous work is my very best art.

It took me ten years to figure out how I wanted to depict a very special moment in Japan. Red silk kimono fabric, moon and mountain by FL-Air, velvets, cottons, beading, hand applique, hand and machine quilting.

Luna IV


Luna IV was created for the One Foot Square Auction for SAQA. Paper, upholstery fabric, cotton, ribbon, hand and machine stitching.

Diamonds and Silk


The white fabric is a silk kimona purchased in Japan in 1994. My challenge was to create a design which could accommo-
date the very light silk with the very heavy brocade. I was told "It couldn't be done!"
