Rousseau-ish

I made this quilt for a challenge based on the work of artist Henri Rousseau. The challenge was cancelled but I finished the piece anyhow. I looked at several of Rousseau's paintings to make my own fabric "painting" in the style of Rousseau.

Journey of The Transportation Quilt

Grandson Jay decided that he would like the Transportation Quilt published by The Country Quilter for his new big boy bed. I love being able to make a quilt from my stash - just had to buy the blue background fabric and the outer border.

A work in progress.

Ahh - finished!

Cars and trucks and trains, oh my. Mom is riding in a sports car, Jay and brother Cole are in the school bus, grandparents are in the cabose and Dad gets to drive the dump truck.

Blue Bird of Paradise

This is a fabric rendition of a drawing I made several years ago. It will be part of the Fiber Arts Exhibit at the Library in Mahopac, NY, this June.

More of my best art

Grandson Leo, 17 months. He is adorable, happy, and loving as well as lovable. He loves watching "Peppa Pig" on his Daddy's computer - doesn't talk much but does a really good "oink"!

Gourds

This small quilt has been accepted into The Quilted Surface VI and will be on exhibit at the Ross Art Museum in Delaware, Ohio, from May 18 to July 4, 2010. :-)))

Not Your Baker's Yeast

Felice Frankel's macro photogra-

phy of yeast colonies magnified many times inspired this quilt. The filamented circles, although pretty, are invasive colonies and can cause disease.

cloth, and decorative wools, ribbons and threads. Machine pieced and appliqued, machine and hand quilted

New Metals

These four little quilts are mounted on 8 x 10 painted canvases. They are for sale at The Commons Gallery in Eastport, Maine. Painting the canvas was quite a challenge - I must have painted 10 different layers before I got an acceptable look.

Metal I

All four quilts use paper, fabric, wool or ribbon edging and some kind of metal. This quilt uses copper mesh, beads and hand stitching with linen thread.
