Emerald Fall

I love leaves, trees, walking in the woods. That was my inspiration for "Emerald Fall". This piece was randomly pieced without a preconceived idea of how it was going to progress. Finished size 30"W x 24"H mounted on a canvas frame. Materials were basically cottons and silks.

My Dali

"My Dali" was inspired by the surrealistic style of Salvadore Dali. This piece was entered into the "Quilting is Art" event sponsored by Milwaukee Public Television, Patched Works of Elm Grove and Bigsby Sewing Center of the Milwaukee area. All entries will be displayed at the 2010 Greater Milwaukee Realtors Home and Garden Show (March 19-27, 2010).

The purpose of this contest is to showcase quilting as an art form as part of the 2010 Channel 10 Great TV Auction. Work is judged on overall creativity, representation of the theme, construction and innovation in approach and design.
