Among Giants
43"x 86" 2005
A redwood scene was a natural subject for me, having lived in the redwoods most of my life. We attended a wedding in Richardson's Grove, it was a beautiful day and Gary took many pictures. As I searched for just the right one to do a quilt, this shot jumped to my attention. I decided to make it tall and narrow, just like the trees to enhance the feeling.
Techniques: The ground and leafy sections are "Mosaic Picture Pieced"; the trees are done with strips of many brown and gray fabrics. I experimented with threadwork for the baby tree in the front and the whole thing is heavily quilted.
Price: $6,000

Little Miss Bright Eyes
Little Miss Bright Eyes...(Christina)
34"x 39" 2006
I decided it was time to make a quilt of Christina and chose one of her favorite childhood pictures. I used it as an example for teaching the method to others.
Techniques: Mosaic Picture Piecing using a pixilated picture as a photomap. Heavily quilted.
Little Miss Bright Eyes (back)
Just for fun, I experimented with the back. Using the quilting designs as a guide I colored it in with colored pencils. It was a precursor to the "Looking Back" quilt which followed.
