Hello bliss (9†x 12â€) I fell in love with the Mercury prints (from Alison Glass’s Sun Prints 2015 collection) the first time I saw them. They seems to be the perfect example of art meeting science and the colors were glad. When I was pulling fabrics to make dress portrait quilts, I grabbed one […]
Art Quilts
Love Who You Are
Enjoy is stitched into the background and a tiny row of daisies make a great belt for her orange dress. Love who you are (5.5†x 9â€) Her skin vibrates music, her soul sings of love and enjoyment for life.
Merry Biking – Red
It’s cold and there’s some snow on the ground – tis the season for fat tire biking here in Alaska. This bike though is more of a cruiser, better on pavement or beach boardwalk. The red polka dots make it perfect for picking up a small holiday tree and poinsettia to decorate a home for […]
Cares Deeply
A kitty at her feet, enjoying the outdoors as much as she does. Her red hair stands out against the aqua blue sky. She cares deeply (6†x 12â€)
Find Courage
Another marbled hair portrait quilt. This one is a blonde with both of earthy greens and orange mixed in. Find Courage (9†x 11â€) I like these bigger girls where the happy words in the text print really come through.
Her Heart is Full
The word ‘glad’ is stitched into this green background. The message seems appropriate for this season of glad tidings. Her heart is full (5.5†x 9â€) I hope you find yourself enjoying the little moments that fill your heart with joy and your face with smiles.
Loves His Dog
Pets are important to many of us. I like adding them to quilts and using a different text print for them. They have stories to tell too. He loves his dog (6†x 12â€) Here in Alaska, we have snow, darkness and cold which mean it’s time for winter fun. Yesterday, I was matching quilt […]
Discover Adventure
Words stitched on a pretty yellow dress to remind me to look for fun and adventure everyday. One of today’s adventure will be in my studio as finish stitching some winter themed quilts. What adventures are calling you today? Discover adventure (9†x 11â€)
Happy in a Tutu
When I was younger I took dance classes. We only wore leotards, tutus were only allowed for recitals. It was disappointing at the time and part of the reason I make these ballerinas in tutus. She is happy in a tutu (9†x 12â€) On the dreary days of winter, don’t forget to add a […]
She Laughs Often
Smiling is a great mood lifter along with laughing and great music that makes you want to dance. She laughs often (5.5†x 9â€) Have you had a good laugh today? I’ve been enjoying the comics in the paper each day to start off with a chuckle and the kitten have been keeping me laughing […]
