Red Riding Hood
As I mentioned earlier, this tree fabric inspired my fairy tale themed quilts, but when I found a remanent of red silk, my mind was filled with images of Red Riding Hood heading into the woods and we see her red cape flowing behind her. This was the first quilt in the series that I […]
Digital Collage Fun
I’ve been playing with photos of my tiny thread drawings – changing the color and adding adding digital collage elements. It’s fun to see the progression… …and it’s nice to create without making a mess sometimes. What have you been creating lately?
She Hardly Closed Her Eyes
A bed piled high with mattresses and by order of a doubting queen, a small pea lies beneath them all. If the girl felt the pea, she was indeed a princess and worthy of the prince. Princess & Pea 1 (17†x 20â€) – she hardly closed her eyes all night, heaven know what was […]
Hello – Joy
Tiny (3.5†x 4.5â€) stitched portraits combine my like of coloring and love of doodle stitching. I can use up lot so neutral(ish) scraps of fabric and practice my free motion stitching. I don’t have an exact purpose for these – except to spread joy and happiness.
Rapunzel 1
Rapunzel looks down from her tower her hair spilling down toward the ground. There the prince, grabs hold hoping to spend some time with is beloved. Rapunzel 1 (13†x 20â€) – Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair

Quilt for Kristin
The Vintage Market fabric line from Riley Blake was so cute that I ordered a fat quarter bundle. I cut each fabric in half to make fat eighth bundles. One bundle was mailed to my friend Kristin, the other half I keep to create a quilt and other goodies for her. It’s taken a while, […]
Sleeping Beauty
When I was thinking of creating Sleeping Beauty, I didn’t want the girl in the bed awaiting her prince charming, I wanted to capture the moment before the spell put her into a deep sleep – her happening upon a spinning wheel inside the castle. Sleeping Beauty (12†x 15â€) – she reached for the […]
