Dreaming in Color - 34” - 27”. The windows are created with painted silk covered with dark vine designs. The darker colorful hand dyed fabric is a chiffon gifted to me by a friend. Other strips of fabric colors are incorporated to repeat the colors found in the chiffon.

I decided it would be fun to make an asymmetrical quilt mounted on another quilted background. The fabric used in the background is an African damask or bezin often made in Mali. I quilted it following the basic design in the damask. Considering the rich colorful hues in the rest of the work, the deep burgundy red of this African fabric played well with and calmed down the whole. #artquilt #textileart

Another landscape in the works. Thanks to @lisa.reber for the amazing hand dyed fabric. I couldn’t bring myself to cut it so decided to just go big! Doing some appliqué, fusing and some painting. #artprocess #artinprogress #artquilt #artquilts #textileart #landscapeartwork

Kelly Drive- 28” x22” - based on a photo taken

Kelly Drive- 28” x22” - based on a photo taken by Rod on one of his early morning bike rides. I was intrigued by the contrast of the dark cold stone arches with the warm glow of the turning leaves. I also enjoyed trying to catch the play of light and shadows across the grass and roadway. #artquilt #textileart #philly #kellydrive #kellydrivephilly

Rod took this picture on an early morning bike ride along Kelly Drive last fall. See my process of creating the background, coaxing painted cheesecloth into tree shapes on a piece of Dura-lar. The elements are pinned on and will be stitched with monofilament thread next. The rest of the stonework and shadows will be created with paint and thread. So far so good but a long way to go yet. #artprocess #artinprogress #fiberart #artquilt #textileart
