Background: Striped wall and floor with dangling decor Simple dress, Mary Jane shoes and messy bun She looks like she is going to a fancy party, so I added the words ‘she liked going to her mom’s fancy parties’
Month: January 2014
Share Joy
I added stitched words to a few of the mini quilts. She shares her joy with the world (6†x 9.5â€)
She Faces Her Fears
I finished 12 mini art quilts and 3 medium sized art quilts last week. I was busy and I loved it; even the frantic moments before taking the items to the gallery. When I make the minis, I complete the the backgrounds, then add the girls and a day later add the sentiment. The colors […]
Welcome Snow
The Girdwood Center for Visual Arts is having a mixed media show next month with a theme of winter playground. This is one of two pieces I created. Winter is my favorite season and I love walking outside as the snow falls. The piece celebrates the welcome experience of snow falling, of enjoying the quiet […]

To Do List
Complete her to do list (5.5†x 10â€) Her to do list is on her skirt (a fabric sticker) and says: ‘believe, love, create, believe, wish love, create.’ The tiny heart is a stitch on my Kenmore sewing machine.
So Cute
Kind Heart (5.5†x 10â€) These small scrapbook embellishments are fun to add to art quilts. This one is like a tiny apron.
Kindred Spirits
Kindred Spirits (7†x 10â€) These mini art quilts can seem repetitive, but I document the variety that can be achieved with the same patterns. Different hair colors, more or less cheek color, embellishments and words all change the feel of a piece. It’s even better when I meet someone who connects to the face […]
Dancing on Ice
Another winter girl – fussy cutting her dress made it look like a sweater – so fun. Enjoying the wind blown hair too. She loves dancing on the ice (8†x 10â€)
