Choose 2/8/08


Paper, ribbon, rayon thread stitched on fabric and French knots

Blanket 2/1/08


Silk fabrics and decorative thread were supposed to be a "blanket" of snow. When I was done, it looked more like it needed a green pea for "Once Upon a Mattress".

Tales & Legends


Foil, linen, and mulberry paper. Can you guess the "tale"?

Plain 1/18/08


"J" is for Jane, who is anything but plain. Fabric, paper and a painted "J". The J didn't show up well, so I stitched around it. In person, it still doesn't show up well. Oh well.

Stitch 1/11/08


Hand stitched with linen thread through fabric, then stitched onto paper.

100% 1/4/08


Two kinds of paper and 100% of all the fabrics I was using at this time. The fabrics are woven.

Soar 12/28/07


My "bird" is from a drawing I made years ago at QSDS.

Horizon 12/21/07


Mulberry paper, six fabrics, a charm and metalic thread

Backwards 12/14/07


If you hold this up to a mirror, you can read all of my favorite people and hobbies, which were stamped on organza, mounted on fabric which was mounted on paper.

I was part of an Artists' Tour Friday and Saturday, July 18 and 19.  Twenty-two artists were featured with mediums ranging from oils and watercolors, to jewelry, pottery and woodcarving.  And me, with fabric art.  It's been fun meeting other artists and amazing that in this small area of Down East Maine, there is so much talent.

This curved log cabin quilt was made with silks from Japan.
   

Quilts for sale, and my newest venture, trans- ferring photos to small, wall art quilts.

M
y oldest quilt and largest quilt on display is Baltimore Nights, made in 1992.  It is to the right of my newest works, 4" squares inspired by Illustration Friday website.  There are actually 9 squares above the small black quilt.
