Canadian quilt artist, Martha Brown and I collaborated on this wall hanging. Martha is a good friend of mine and we designed and cut the pieces together in a hotel in Syracuse, NY (halfway point for her and I). Most of the fabrics were hand-painted by either Martha or me. She took it home and pieced it. She sent it back to me and I machine quilted it using lots of metallics and cords. Most of it was bobbin quilted because of the thickness of the threads. I sent it back to her and she finished it off by binding it and putting the sleeve on.

Pat Rambo and I collaborated on Batiks Beauties.  It won Third Place a the New Jersey Quilt Convention.  This quilt is to be featured in an upcoming issue of McCall's Quick Quilts magazine!  Keep an eye out for it!  Click the thumbnails below to see close up of the quilting.

Here's a piece that was made for a show at the Markeim Gallery in Haddonfield, NJ.  Unfortunately, I was unable to participate due to scheduling conflicts.  It's hard to see in this picture, but there are over 20 specialty threads used for embellishment and quilting.  All of the fabric used in the quilt was painted by hand - including the main scene.  This really is a "must see in person" quilt! 

This quilt was made with all of my hand-painted fabrics. The border is my favorite with the fern sun-prints!
