Picnic in the Woods 12″ x 16″
This little quilt was inspired by a scene we found in a little pull out near Trinidad, Ca. I think it speaks of some of the things I Love – redwoods, ocean, and mosaic piecing.

Walk in the Light
A visit to Patrick’s Point park in Northern California is the inspiration for this quilt piece. We enjoyed the view of the Ocean’s stunning waves –then turned around to head back to the parking lot. This was the view – a canopy tunnel lit with the afternoon sun. I loved it. This is the result.

“If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another; and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin”. 1 John 1:7
Do you See What I See?
A simple design, inspired by a fabric. The border says Do you see what I see.
I love that Carol and decided to feature the prophetic nature of His coming.
Little Red Schoolhouse
Little Red Schoolhouse 36″ x 35″
This quilt was made with a favorite place in mind. We drive by this location often, when headed north.
If you’re lucky when you drive by you may see the whole yard covered with elk. I decided to just use two to show in the quilt. It is made with piecing of the building and mostly collage of many printed cottons for the rest of the piece.
