Hansel & Gretel
A colorful house in the woods… A brother and sister with handfuls of breadcrumbs… Hansel and Gretel (13†x 17â€) – they found an odd house deep within the woods
Website and Inspiration
After a few years, it was time for a website change. It was a giant puzzle implementing a new theme, but I’m thrilled with the results. One notable change – for those that like to add comments on the site, click the Read More button and the comment form will be displayed. I am smitten […]
Cinderella
A girl in a blue silk ball gown embellished with small jewel. She is featured on the tree fabric that inspired my fairy tale theme art quilt series. My favorite part of Cinderella is when she returns home just as the magic is wearing off. She only has memories of the evening and a secret […]
Hold Tight – Smile
Hold on tight to your dreams : : love : : explore wander Sometimes I get to sew on samples while I work at the quilt shop. This is fun, but I find I don’t have the same ‘need’ to get into my studio like I did when I worked an office job. Instead of […]

Here & Now
Sometimes I need a reminder to stay present and focus on the moment – the here and now. This notebook cover is a great reminder! These covers make me want to jot down ideas for my next stitched projects or collecting bits and baubles I have found.
Beauty Loves the Beast
A gold ball gown and a rose – those are images I see when I think about Beauty and the Beast. I enjoyed creating the dimensional dress with lots of lace and silk. The sentiment says, ‘She had fallen in love with the Beast.’ Beauty Loves the Beast (13†x 21â€)
Frog Prince
Creating the princess running away from the frog prince with her golden orb was such fun. The purple and gold fabric played so well with the green frog and the background. The Frog Prince (12†x 16â€) The saying a directly from the tale: the frog called after her, ‘stay princess and take me with […]
