It occurred to me that if I can collage with paper or on the computer why not with fabric? The fact that I am not the Betsy Ross of sewing didn't matter too much as the image,composition,colours and textures were more important than stitches per inch for me! Most fabrics are reclaimed from the good ol' Sally Ann or my daughter (the fashion designer!) |

I had read a book about the theory of Mitochondrial Eve. Fossil and genetic studies seem to point to a single female hominid whose mitochondrial DNA all peoples of the world share. That makes this African woman the mother of us all. Shown at the Scweinfurth Memorial Gallery Syracuse , MARKINGS PAQA show 2007 $2,300.00 USD |

Here's a second attempt at double batted trapunto. I used one layer cotton and one poly ....a lot easier to avoid puckering this time ( Thanks Scott!) This is still not exactly what I wanted as the back side is print and the quilting hardly shows. Next one shall be PLAIN so I can make a double sided one! This one is called "LADY LUCK" 37"x27" $1,100.00 USD. Juried into X-ileration, Chandler Arizona SOLD |
An experiment to get a trapunto effect by doubling up poly batting. A nuisance to quilt because of dangers of shifting and warping, but I LIKE whats happening, especially on the back!
