| FINISHED THIS ONE |
I have been working on this quilt since 2004, not constantly mind you. I created it in 2004 while living in Florida with my father at the beginning stages of his alzeimer's. I added to it with the borders in 2006, this year I added a few more stems and flowers. In Februrary it was part of a show of unfinished quilts I had hanging at the local coffee shop. A friend said she wanted it, so I had Susan Holmes quilt it for me on her long arm machine. Last weekend while at the festival I finally put the binding on it and today I attached the sleeve for the hanging of it. I haven't cut the dowel to size yet, but I did slip a smaller one into the sleeve so I could at least take a photo or two. I used recyceld fabrics with commercial fabrics for the background and borders. The vase comes from a man's silk shirt, the flowers arrangement is wool cut from a tapestry, and the flowers are cut from one of the ugliest vintage dresses I have ever seen. The photo isn't the greatest since it really isn't hanging how it should be at it's final place. I will call Beth today and see if she is still interested in this quilt, she hasn't heard the price yet :)
enjoy!! |

About Me: Hi! I am a fiber artist tryig to work on my art everyday of 2007. With doing this I hope my art will evolve and I will learn many new techniques this coming year. My goal is to be able to make my living doing my fiber arts.
I also make my own earrings when I have a need of a new pair.
I am an avid brick collector and belong to International Brick Collectors Association. I try to attend at least one brick swap a year to share my bricks and to collect new ones from all over the country. I am currently working on a hugh brick walk and patio.
Gardening is another love of mine, my yard is getting rather funky in my yard decorating. I go for the unusaul and people come out my way to see what I have added each year. Last summer was green beer bottles for the flower bed edging and bowling ball towers. I have no idea what I will be adding this coming summer.
