kaleidoscope

This is a slash and whack style quilt made from one fabric, cut, mixed and re-sewn together. What can't be seen clearly, are the fairies that swirl around the blocks. This was another commission that I did for a client.

Stained glass

After traveling to Europe and seeing some of the amazing stained glass in the churches, I decided to make my own version of a stained glass window. This was purchased by a family living in the Channel Islands.

The black and white rag

There was a popular tune when I was younger called "The Black and White Rag" and this quilt is a reflection of this song. It is hand quilted with large treble clefs and contains many images of music on a variety of fabrics. Collecting the fabric though took me at least 18 months searching up and down the coast of Australia for suitable fabric. Having strong relationships with many fabric shops meant that they kept key samples for me to peruse.

Rain forest chiracuso

I recently travelled to the Daintree forest in Far North Queensland looking for ideas. As an artist, I find that I am always drawn to colours and patterns and the Daintree was inspirational for me. This quilt is a Queen sized piece and it has been done in a simple half square triangle which brings out the depth of colours in the forest.

Commissioned - Traditional Qulit

This quilt was commissioned by a European expat who returned to Australia from Amsterdam. She was looking for a muted soft coloured quilt that would compliment her furnishings and she wanted to help choose the fabrics herself. We did a number of shopping trips to determine the colour scheme and then I combined the pieces in the pattern that she had admired.

The size is for a king-sized bed and even thought the colours are a bit soft for my liking, I have since sold another one in a similar vein.
