Welcome!

Ah...fabric, thread, beautiful colors and patterns! The art quilt is my way to express the joy I feel observing creation. My medium is fabric and thread. Fibers add a texture depth to my art.

Since 2005 I have been making "art" quilts that resemble paintings. I find this to be filled with challenges and rewards.
I have sewn clothes since childhood and now spend most of my sewing time making quilted art. Using photography as inspiration and various techniques, I make quilted fine art scenes. My style is to quilt my art on my home sewing machine. I have done portraits as well as many landscapes.

Most of you know that I use a lot of thread!! (that's an understatment). I've been privileged to be designated a "Superior Star" from Superior Threads. They have been very helpful to me through the years; giving me a wholesale discount and encouragement every time I get some honor. Thanks Superior.

I often lay out the threads I'm thinking about using before I start the quilting process. This is a shot of "Quiet Moment" as I was getting ready to start sewing.

See how the colors blend and highlight the piece. Love them.
