Peacock Quilt -- Not Even Solomon

When my sister Sheila saw my peacock Palatial Plumage she fell in love with it and wondered if I could make one for her. She helped me with so much of my domestic work that I decided to make her one. She helped choose the fabric for the background and has a guest room where she wants to display it. In the mean time, I hope it can do some traveling.

A New Beginning

A symbol of resurrection, the butterfly brings hope, endurance, and change to the meaning of life. This is my entry for the Sacred Threads exhibit "Backyard Escape."

Teryn's Submarine and Tina's Snoopy

Life ...

The piano sounds so much better now that it's tuned.

... as a Quilter

Teryn finished his submarine using my technique "From Coloring Book to Fiber Art."

Tina came after school to start quilting her ...

... "Snoopy" quilt. She'll need to come back and quilt some more between the lines.

Linking to Nina Maria's "Off the Wall Friday."

Reaching for the Light II and III

I finished some more pieces in the series "Reaching for the Light" for my Southern Artist friends. These measure 8"X10" and are made of the same fabric although the lighting looks different.

This one especially reminds me of a cold windy day.

Reaching for the Light

Reaching for the Light has found a new home with another fiber artist.
