Welcome To My Art Space

Fabric art is my passion. My interest in fabric started as clothes construction then progressed to quiltmaking-craftsmanship. Now for me it's a medium of creative expression.

IN THE MOONLIGHT

IN THE MOONLIGHT  ( 25'' x 25'' ) was done as part of an on going interest in light, stars and moons.  It has been juried into ART QUILTS XVIII at the Center for the Arts in Chandler, Arizona Nov.1, 2013 thru Jan.18, 2014.

MAGAZINE ARTICLE-FLOCKING BIRDS

This piece titled MY WEDDING  is 30''x 20'' and was done as a reminder of a game we played as young girls when we saw flocks of birds in our neighborhood. Object of the game was to be the first to say 'my wedding' when a large flock flew by because you wanted to have the largest wedding. It brings back nice memories of yesterday. This fabric piece is featured in the Summer 2014 issue of ART QUILTING STUDIO magazine on page 144.
