A boy’s boy in black/dark gray. The fabric used to make the bike is a text print on dark gray. I used a knife edge binding on the bike quilts. I’ve been experimenting with how to do it quickly and efficiently. It’s a puzzle I like solving and hopefully someday mastering. Enjoy the ride – […]

I have a large bike quilt that hangs in my dining room. It gets a lot of compliments so I thought I would try making smaller versions. I used white Kona for the background and kept the quilting simple, lines and a few words. Stitching the smaller bikes was a bit nerve wreaking until I […]

Wish… When I was brainstorming ideas for the sentiments on these quilts, I read Anna Maria Horner’s about page and I was struck by the phrasing about embracing wonders and imperfect moments so I knew this quilt with a long haired brunette needed that sentiment. She embraces wonder and imperfect moments (14” x 20”) I […]

Color! I fussy cut my large handwriting text print to have ‘share joy’ on her face. The photo is in focus, the print on her shirt is just a bit psychedelic. I like it! She is thankful for color (14” x 20”)

Her short orange hair pops agains the dark blue background. A mixture of 3 fabrics make her shirt, sweater and skirt. The dimensional skirt was carefully folded and pressed to make that pattern. She sparks creativity in all who meet her (14” x 20”)

Days before I was to set up my art show, I was inspired to make 4 new art quilts with Anna Maria Horner fabrics. Here is the first one. I fussy cut the face to have ‘smile’ in just the right place. I used marbled fabric for the hair. She is wearing a dimensional skirt […]

Another kitty… and a girl in glasses. I am keeping this one – it’s almost a self portrait. She loves her cat (7” x 13”) Today I am leaving for a new adventure – my first trip to Europe! I’ll be back in few days, but posts will continue while I’m away. I’ll catch up […]

Another hiker ready for adventure. There’s a tiny heart on her shorts and I dig the dotted scarf on her head. Really loving the trees and her knee high socks. She never minds getting lost in the woods (7” x 13”)

A girl with her cat on a leash – makes the cat hair on the quilt seem okay 🙂 When we lived in the midwest, I would put leashes on my cats and take them for walks. Here in Alaska, the cats don’t go running off very far and they don’t get the opportunity to […]
