Jonathan's Dream

'Jonathan's Dream' 1985, is a folk quilt based on our home at that time. Daughter in doorway, dad with cows ( we had them at that time) myself and my son on right.

First Star Farm

First Star Farm' 1984, 1984, isis a traditional house; tree blocks with a charm twist. I used all different fabrics to construct this piece.

First and Last Star

'First and Last Star' center star has points from a striped fabric coming together to make another design. The swags are 3-D, not flat and my children's hands are quilted in the interior between the leaves.

Kahlil Gibran

A spiritual awakening is often found and developed in a wilderness. It can be a poem or a parable of a deep forest, a mountain meadow or a cactus-studded desert. The outdoor spirit of plein air refreshes and further enables the indoor studio chapel. Each new creative beginning is a confirmation of the simple truth of taking care. And while it may all appear to be self-indulgent and isolating, every thought, every stroke, every caress of the brush adds a small refreshment of meaning and purpose to our universe. "Work is love made visible."
