3D Study in Black and White

Three strips of black patterned fabric and three of white alternate to create depth and movement in

this piece. The thin red border both frames and accentuates the black / white pattern.

Ditch quilted using black and white threads to emphasize the illusion on the back.

Sea of Love

This bed quilt was a wedding present for Jesse and Amy. The border has an Indian motif.



The picture is not so great (and if you look closely you will see that it has been rotated 90 degrees). Because the quilt is so big, it had to be held up (by Wendy and Pauline), so this was the best we could do.

Here is a very hungry
caterpillar!!!! Did you know
he is celebrating his
40th birthday this year?

This is the first time I have
had the quilting done by
someone else.......butterfly
designs on a long-arm machine.

Noah's Ark

Thirteen pairs of animals are depicted in this colorful quilt! (The other hundred thousand species are already on board.) Can you tell which are male and which are female?


A very special gift for new baby Tamir, son of Evan and Ari Moffic.

Thai Silk

This wall-hanging was made with silks that I bought on our trip to Thailand. The blue represents the Andaman Sea; the red represents poppies; the gold is for the many golden temples; the orange is for the ubiquitous robes of the monks; the purple is for delicious purple sticky rice; and the yellow is for the curry used in many delicious dishes!

The stripes themselves represent both activity and orderliness; two qualities which are part of the Thai culture.

Kazuri Beads

This quilt was made for an auction to support NICASA's Women of Worth program. The program is a collaboration between women in the Nicasa program who are in recovery and women in Kenya who supply the beads from which the Nicasa women make jewelry. Thus, I made the quilt with African-pattern based fabrics. In fact, the main fabric looks almost like Kazuri beads! To learn more about the WOW Program, go to http://www.nicasa.org/

Paschke Homage - Hot Fax

The late Ed Paschke is my favorite artist. For 4 decades he created stunning pieces with brilliant colors and shapes. Click here to see his collected works.

This piece is dedicated to his memory. It is an attempt to capture those colors and the often jarring juxtaposition of objects that characterized his art.

The original "Hot Fax" is pictured below.

Lattice Be Happy

This quilt is a wedding gift for Rob and Jolene. Hence the name!

Peaceful, calm, relaxing. Be Happy!
