Quilts

While walking through Prairie Creek Park we happened upon a bridge over a stream.  I was fascinated by the lush greens on the steps.  It became a project which I call Stepping Up.  The quilt is made in a collage manner with many fabrics and...

Once again I have done a painted landscape scene.  My style is to use a picture as a biginning inspiration and then paint on white fabric.  After that I put batting and backing behind the picture and machine quilt it with intention of adding depth...

This quilt was part of a challenge in our Fiber Art Group. I loved how the children were having such a good time in the little wading area (shallow) This quilt is finished with a faced edge.  It has a sleeve on the top back...
