Also on the way...

This one is a gift for a friend's birthday. It measures 11.5" x 15". She loves cats and the color purple, so Lavender Garden Cat with Green Kneepads was born. This was fun to make using just free-edge applique with the machine and then applied embroidery and buttons. Background fabric is hand-dyed shibori by me. Inspired by Jude Hill's amazing beasts....

Gentner's Fritillary

Been busy working on the latest project which I'll be able to show in a couple of weeks time. In the meantime, I've just packed this one off to its new owner in Portland, Oregon. This piece measuring 6"x24" was done for the Rogue Art Quilters show in Jacksonville, Oregon. The show coincided with the Fritillary Festival, a celebration of the endangered wildflower, the Gentner Fritillary.
