I made this quilt for my BFF Susan for her Birthday!  I used a Tonga Layer cake and a pattern called "Delectable Cabin Cakes".  70x54.

Batik Quilt-my own design

When I made the Batik Quilt for my mother, Anne, I had alot of scrap triangles left so I put them with squares and created my own Batik design!  84x72.  This quilt is for Sale if you are interested please contact me.

Council Fire of the Star Nations

At a women's spiritual retreat in June we all created an art piece that would then become a part of a larger art piece.  This is my contribution.  2012 Summer Solstice, The Medicine Wheel, True Speaking, Star Nations, Elders teaching the Young, The Spring Green of innocence the elders Carry in their heart. These were things I was thinking about and tried to incorporate into the Painting.
8x10 Acrylic
This is The Clan Art Piece as a whole.

Barbara Dancing the Cosmic Tides

I created this Fabric Art Piece for a friend that is being challenged with cancer.
The finished work is 14" x 14", quilting, embroidery and bead work.
I had a dream and in this vision Barbara is the Ankh with her face as the Crown Chakra, she has pyrope garnets on her hands and feet and in her heart and she is dancing through the Milky Way and the cosmos.

I see the symbolism this way:
·         ANKH:  A symbol of everlasting life, of power, wisdom and great strength.
·         CROWN CHAKRA:  The lotus flower for pure consciousness, the cosmic consciousness center.  Violet is made from Red (matter) and Blue (spirit).
·         PYROPE GARNET:  Bestows vitality and charisma, and promotes an excellent quality of life.

In every stitch, there is a prayer with love and a wish for quality of life.
