Magnolia

Size: 64” x 61”
My Magnolia Quilt was inspired by home, garden and family and by the setting in which I experience those three things - the small towns of Ohio.  There is a town in Ohio called Magnolia.  It is a wonderful place which I drive through on my way to my friend Cathy’s home on one of Ohio’s lakes.  Magnolia has many old homes with lovely porches looking out onto colorful flower gardens.

In designing the quilt I challenged myself to use many of my collection of textural fabrics and embellishments, as well as hand-dyed wool and cotton prints.  I was able to incorporate hand-dyed velvet, corduroy, taffeta silk and Japanese fabric as well as velvet ribbons, rickrack, hand-dyed yarn and beads. The kits include all the fabrics and embellishments used in my quilt. Many have been lovingly hand dyed especially for these quilt kits.

Creating this quilt was a special experience. It traveled with me to many parts of the US as I taught my classes. During these classes I demonstrated embellishment techniques ‘live’ using this quilt for demonstration purposes. At the same time I completed a quilt that reminds me constantly of my garden I love and am still developing. Declaring the quilt ‘complete’ in order to write the book was harder than I expected, I really wanted to further enhance it indefinitely.

Urban Sacs

For several years I have been working with a wonderful group of friends from Chardon, a small town in rural Ohio.  We meet once a month on Sunday mornings.

Last year we decided to create some bags.  We aimed to make a set of useful sacs that would at the same time be cheerily colorful.  We also wanted them to be relatively simple to construct but have lots of interest.
The results are now brought together in this book called - Urban Sacs.  We used upholstery fabric, wool, cottons and leather.  To add further interest the sacs were embellished with cotton and wool threads, beads and buttons. Book - $25.00
