I decided to put the quilt up on the wall so that when she woke up, she would see it. The funny thing is, she did not notice it right away! I had to say, "Hey, what's that?".
I think I have been creative since the womb, but my earliest memory was using my mother’s eye shadow to draw a vase of flowers. That was only the beginning….. From photographs, life experiences, quotes and other artists—inspiration can pop up at any moment. Fiber art allows me to combine all the media I love in a creative, yet experimental way. Thank you for joining me on my journey as I explore all the facets that this fiber art medium has to offer!

Fused and Finished!
I usually make something to give my mother and some of my closest friends each year at Christmas. This year, I decided to make them an art quilt. My mother's was finished first, and I am so proud of it! Her birthday was on the 24th of December, so I wanted to do something extra special. It is based on a photo of her holding my daughter Laila, her first and only grandchild.

I'm on a roll
I have made progress on my first quilt of the "Sisters Series". I took this picture a few weeks ago, and I have worked on it since then. Actually, inspiration has been flowing all around me lately. I have not made time to update my blog, but I have about four art quilts in the works at the moment. Hopefully I will post pics of them all soon!
