Gallery - sold works
My previous website compressed images much smaller than is now necessary, and so this section will be populated bit by bit.
Blue Moon and Rabbit
September 2012. About 22" square Continues my exploration of layering sheers, bleaching out color and using the 'wrong' side of fabrics. Some patchwork done by machine, but all applique is hand sewn. Most of the blue fabrics came out of the indigo vat. This quilt was inspired by dyeing under the catalpa tree in my backyard this summer, and seeing the very bold rabbits feeding in my and my neighbors' backyards. There was, in fact, a blue moon, on August 31, 2012. Cottons, silk, polyester. At least four recycled garments show up here (including one kimono scrap). Blog post about the quilt here. |

'Mistress of the North'
This doll is associated with the direction North, as suggested by her wintry colors. According to indigenous American lore, North is associated with Wisdom, the color White, and the Buffalo. I imagine that she is looking inward to find her Wisdom. She holds two keys & a skunk vertebra. I knit her body out of grey mohair. Her face is stamped, hand-tinted and slightly needle-sculpted. Hair is satin cording and vintage floss. Both her apron and sleeves are recycled garments. About 12" tall. SOLD, March 2012 |

Beech Trees
The size of a piece of paper, this quilt is a digitally altered original photograph of some of the most beautiful trees that I have ever seen. They live in Brookline. Mass. Photo transferred onto cotton and machine quilted. |
'Passion House'
About 3' x 4' This mid-sized quilt was commissioned for a 60th birthday and reflects the recipient's passionate love of travel and decades-long commitment to community service around the globe. Most of the quilt is pieced, with some chunks of fabric raw-edge appliqued. Fabrics include linen, silk, madras, Australian imports, batik, an African tie-dye, and quilting cottons. More commissioned quilts can be viewed in this flickr set: Commissioned Pieces. |
'Thai Honeymoon'
About 2' x 3'
This quilt was commissioned as a wedding gift for a couple who honeymooned in Thailand. The large arch suggests stained glass, while the large swirls of the batik (printed in nearby Indonesia) represent the ocean. The swirling leaves in the surround appeared both joyful and fertile to me. Machine and hand-quilted. Appliqued & pieced. Fabrics: silk, Indonesian sarong rayon, & African batik. |
