Artistry in Motion

My son, Scott, took a photo while out hiking. I really liked it. I asked him if I could do a quilted wall hanging of it. He liked the idea so here it is. This is done with little snippets of fabric for the flowers and trees. What a challenge!!!

Sweet Agnes

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 18:14:00 +0000

This is named "Sweet Agnes". She was one of my favorite aunts. She lived to the age of 102 and was a delight until her death. I knitted her sweater and beaded her necklace. I also, used fabric paint on her hair.

Midnight magic

This is made with angelina, crystals and thread art. We will usr this as a wall hanging. I love it because it is so bright and happy.

Jewelry Travel Bags

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Fri, 05 Jul 2013 16:26:00 +0000

These will be great Christmas gifts. Opps, now everyone knows. I loved to use the jewely travel bags when we were able to travel. Now I use them to store my jewelry.

Blessed Mother

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 16:02:00 +0000

This will be a class I am going to teach in August. I hope it goes well. It is all done with fabric and thread. I covered it with netting then quilted it. The netting acts as a "wash" if I had painted the picture. It tones down the colors.

Potholders

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Fri, 24 May 2013 00:34:00 +0000

These potholders look so real when they are on the kitchen counter. You almost want to enjoy a piece of pie and a scoop of ice cream. They do take some time to make but are so fun to have in the kitchen. I have also made blackberry. Always something new on my "plate".

Silver City, New Mexico

I have finally finished this wall hanging. I made the pictures a while ago and always wanted them in a wall hanging. I am so happy to finally get this done. This will be entered in a show in Flagstaff in June. If you are up that way, go to the Four Corners Quilt Exhibition, June 11 - July 20th. Let me know if you go and what you thought of the show.

Zen Quilt

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 20:02:00 +0000

This was a really fun quilted wall hanging to make. It is composed from doodles (except for the first one). The first one is something I saw in a craft book. Most of the color is done with fabric watercolor paints. I used black thread as well as some color thread. It was so enjoyabel just doodling. It is called Zen quilting. I have given it to our daughter, however, I am taking it back to put it in our local quilt show in March. There will be over 100 quilts in this show. I will have 3 wall hanging there. Maybe some of you may want to come see the talent in Green Valley. It is March 15 and 16. It would be nice to see you there.

Evening Out

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 19:31:00 +0000

This is an evening purse for an friend. This is the most beautiful fabric and is just right for an evening out on the town. She has not seen it yet so I am hoping she likes it.

"Day of the Dead"

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 19:27:00 +0000

This was so fun to make. The pillow is for a friend of our daughter's. She has a collection of "day of the dead" things. It just amazes me what one can do with a little bit of fabric and a sewing machine.

"Old Blue Jeans"

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 19:37:00 +0000

This is the back of the "jeans" purse. The bottom picture is the front of the same purse.
It is fun to see how many ways one can use old jeans.

Blue Moon

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 20:07:00 +0000

This is my latest quilt. I first designed it, then used the "quilt as you go" method to finish it. I worked on it for about 6 month before I could call it finished.

In the Pink

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:50:00 +0000

This purse was made from a little girls jeans skirt. It is lined with pink cotton fabric. It is so much fun to recycle things like this. I may still put a pink belt on it. If I do, I will upgrade the pictures.

Snowflakes 5

Machine embroidered note card is done on cloth with raw edges.

My latest cards

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 03:46:00 +0000

I've been having so much fun making some different cards. It is so much fun to see what colors will make the design stand out. Each card takes about 2 hours to make. It takes much longer to draw up the design and make the place where the holes will go. I don't think I will make any more of the ones with the crystal beads. It would be too expensive to make them to sell.

Round Robin

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 18:51:00 +0000

This was my first experience doing a "round robin". It was so much fun. It started with my center square, the purple with the flowers appliqued. The next person did the next round and so on until all the ladies in the group did a round. I was amazed when I got it back as I had not seen it after I gave my starting square. Just thought you would like to see it.

Scott's Photography

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 18:39:00 +0000

This is a copy of a photograph that our son, Scott, had on his web-site. I just loved it and asked him if I could try to make a quilted wall hanging of it. I love the way it turned out. It is made of cotton fabric, netting, fabric paint and then quilted. Some of the trees are made with tiny pieces of fabric which I call snippets. It was so much fun to make it and to see it completed.

Purse with wallet

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000

This purse has lots of pockets, inside and out. I don't always make a wallet type mini-purse to go with my purses. It just seemed like the right thing to do with this one. It holds credit cards, coins and bills.

Flowers Galore

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 23:40:00 +0000

With this purse, I fussycut the design from one piece of fabric and appliqued it onto the rust suedecloth. This one was fun to make, but then all of them are fun to make. I never get tired of drawing designs and then sitting at the sewing machine and putting them all together.

Black and White

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 14:21:00 +0000

I have always wanted to weave something so here it is. Now my brain is going crazy thinking of all kinds of things to weave. Hope you like this one.

Black,White and Red all over

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 23:32:00 +0000

This is another "Quilt as you go". This is one side that I will use most of the time. It was a great way to use up leftover fabric. As you know, I just can't throw away anything. It can always be used for something. The top picture is the other side.

Large Tote

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 23:40:00 +0000

This bag is quite large (18 x 11 x 5) and is great for traveling. Either side can be the "front" side and the fabric is oh, so soft. I'm not quite sure what I will use it for, or I could sell it for $40.00. I don't know that I will ever make another one.

Apache Junction Police Dept.

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 00:51:00 +0000

The Apache Junction asked me to make them a wall hanging that looked like their insignia. Since Apache Junction is in AZ. I used the state of Az. as a background.

Clubhouse wall hanging

noreply@blogger.com (Welcome!) — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 00:48:00 +0000

I made this for the clubhouse in the community we once lived. It showed what some of our friend did when they came to Apache Junction in the winter.
