Stitch
A Story
Life offers many precious moments to capture in fabric and thread. I created the Stitch-a-Story method to go beyond the hundreds of snapshots in my photo library. By combining a special experience with photos transferred to fabric and embellishment with stitching, I have a lasting memory of the event. I use this method to create gifts for special occasions and memorialize family members. These projects are quick to work up and are displayed over plexiglass frames. Learn more about making these quilts and enjoy my personal gallery of stitched stories.
Bright bursts of color to liven up home décor. Each art piece imbued with story.
When I needed an idea for an art quilt series, I looked to the hundreds of photographs that I had from years of visiting Oregon and Washington. Cannon Beach emerged as a favorite vacation spot to get out of the heat and humidity of the Midwest or the Sacramento Valley and it became the inspiration for this series.

Alphabet
A
The Alphabet series started with an assignment in an online abstract drawing class. Sara Post [add link] invited us to create an asemic alphabet. Asemic describes art marks that have no specific semantic meaning but may look like letters or handwriting. I created an asemic alphabet in black and white on paper and used it for a pattern to make alphabet series.
Burst of Colors
I love color—all hues and shades and tints and the brighter the better. Art making is my happy place and joy comes to me from the color wheel. The art pieces in this section were made for fun and feature original designs.
Just For Fun
Sometimes I just need to have some fun with fabric. It might be for enrichment or stress relief and the bonus is there is a piece of art at the end. The artworks were created as I tried new techniques and explored all there is to do with fabric and thread. I hope you enjoy them as much as did making them.
