WHO AM I?

Why do I quilt?

I have always had a love affair with fabric.  I love fabric's color.  I love fabric's saturated color.  I love fabric's color variation and pattern.  I love fabric's tactile nature.   I love the unraveling raw edges of fabric.

​

I love quilting.  I love the three-dimensional nature of quilting.  I love the freedom to add texture with quilting.  I love the freedom to add surface design, beads, couched yarns and ribbons to my quilting.  

​

I use the medium of textiles to represent my home.  For the past few years, that home has been my southern Arizona "sky island" of Bisbee, Arizona.  I am especially drawn to images that are not considered classically attractive.  That includes landscapes of disintegrating structures, ruins of our abandoned past.  I am drawn to wildlife not considered classically attractive.  I am drawn to the unnoticed dramas that play out beneath our notice.
