Once I began carrying a camera with me and began to really see what was around me, I found vivid images everywhere I went. The photographs I took --- used loosely as inspiration --- accompany the first three quilts in this gallery.

Blooms: Gerberas

I have taken many photographs of Gerbera daisies. When I spotted pots of them in NYC
just after 9/11, I was struck by their saturated color and symmetry.

Blooms: Hydrangeas

Each year we lived in our home in Washington, D.C., one hydrangea bush gave me so much joy.

An old stone wall with ambitious green shoots pushing through the cracks
provided the inspiration for New Growth.

A combination of reverse applique, couching and fusing; this quilt was the result of studying with David Walker.

Perhaps the only quilt idea that came to me in the middle of the night---and felt compelling enough to get me up and make it!
