FRACTAL SUNRISE 2003

I have a new love affair with fractals & this was the first quilt with them. It was fun to use unusual materials in creating this. Yellow is hand dyed flannel, black is sheer stretch knit and then it was embellished with beads & black pom-poms.

SHADOWS FROM CORONADO'S PAST 2004

A VISIONS Special Challenge & Exhibition

This was the first time I made photo transfers and I put them on transparency film. Heavy chenille yarn made wonderfully texturized edges. I learned so much from the research and the whole process was satisfying and fun.

FREE TO WANDER 2004

Black, White & Pink Challenge

I have been collecting black & white fabrics for years, but this was the first time I used them for a black & white design. Though very graphic, Free to Wander suited my journey well in learning to negotiate through my many fabrics. I think I avoided this type of project for a long time because I hate to let go of colors. Thankfully, we could use pink as well.
