What technique do you use to create your quilts?

To create the figures, I use a method of fusible raw-edged appliqué. I have more control with it, and I am able to use very tiny pieces of fabric for details in the face, like eyes. For other areas, I use machine appliqué.

Are your quilts made with just the fusible technique?

No, I also use conventional methods like machine piecing and appliqué, and many times I us paint as well.

Are your quilts hand or machine quilted?

I’m strictly a machine quilter. Hand quilting is just not my thing. I tend to bleed on everything I try to hand quilt. So I will stick to machine work.

Do you only do pictorial work?

No. I also make abstract pieces. I like to combine pictorial and abstract as part of my design.

Do you sell any of your work?

Some quilts are available for purchase. Please E-mail me for details and pricing.

What brand of sewing machine do you use?

I’m in love with my Bernina 160. It does what I want it to do without protest, even through multiple layers of fabric and fusible web.
