I come from a long line of sign writers and am happiest with a brush and some paint! Add
paint to fabric and I get really excited!!

A comfort quilt

This is a lovely quilt, as well as a lovely gesture. A member of my quilt guild pieced the top with this myriad of plaids, all from clothing gathered from her former boss’s grandfather who had recently passed. She took all the shirts that had been saved, opened then up to get the fabric she needed and then pieced the top. I used an open quilting design to enhance the well worn softness of the cottons and brushed cottons. Wrapping up in the quilt is like getting a big soft hug.


And because I am so, so tired of snow, here are some photos I took at the Joshua Tree National Park on our recent trip to California..
