Batik Abstract


I just finished the second Women of Valor quilt which will be sent off to New Mexico.

It is a twin bed quilt and uses an abstract pattern with batiks I have stashed away. I enjoyed this project.

Latest work


I just finished the latest piece for a Journal Challenge 12" x 12" ; this one was due in May but here I am - better late than never. It is called "Old Tree at Waimea Canyon". It comes from 2 photographs taken in Kauia maybe 15 yrs ago. It took a while to decide how to construct it. It is difficult to show the rough brown/rust and vibrant gree of the canyon walls. It feels like painting more than sewing. The theme of this challenge is Photo vs Textile Art. It takes advantage of my own photography which has been a real creative part of me. Hope you like it.

Hawaii has many fond memories for me- We were there for our 25th wedding anniversary.
