My One of a Kind Quilts express my love of pattern, color and imagery. They are made from the best quality printed cotton fabrics which inspire a collage. People say that my greatest skill is in combining colors in a beautiful, dramatic way. I also seek a variety of textures, scale and detail, evoking the richness of Persian carpets or traditional mosaics. Yardage is printed in limited editions which dates the quilt and makes fabrics collectable. Over the years I have accumulated a vast library of fabrics which allows an assemblage of wonderful elements. Hand cutting is an important part of my work, allowing me to select only the colors and shapes I want and eliminating the rest, so I can combine fabrics that ordinarily are incompatible. I machine stitch, embracing the wonders of technology as many modern artists do! I use paper piecing for precise shapes, applique blind stitching for odd shapes. No adhesives. A darning foot allows the free form top-stitching for the quilt's final sculptural dimension. The quilts are purchased for walls or beds as centerpieces for interior design.
