Full Moon Over Stonehenge


I made this small (12"x12") art quilt for the 2016 SAQA Benefit Auction.  It's called, "Full Moon Over Stonehenge." I used a navy-blue speckled fabric for the night sky background.  I bought some Stonehenge fabrics by Northcott that I used for the vertical sarsen stones and the horizontal lintel stone.  The moon is a piece of very thin, silver lamé fabric, which I bonded to the background with Mistyfuse.  Within the radiating quilting lines, I added some Swarovski crystals for stars. (It sold for $150.)

Genealogy Quilt

Years ago, I became interested in genealogy and tracing my family tree back as far as I could go on both sides of my family.  In 2010, I made this "genealogy quilt" focusing on my mother, Irene.  I made this small quilt to look like a desk blotter.  Some of the things I included in this small quilt are pictures from her high school class, family pictures, census information about her and vintage postcards from the area in Vermont where she grew up.  My mother passed away in 2014 at age 95.
