Mini Quilt

10″ x 10″painted, stamped and machine stitched I created this miniature quilt, after creating 74 Artist Trading cards for a Certified Zentangle® Teacher card swap.

Wool Applique Bird

Blackberry Walks

Approx. 6″ by 6″woven cotton strips, painted fabric, hand stitched I created this mini-quilt to honor a departing co-worker. We shared some wonderful walks on our morning breaks and often enjoyed blackberries along the way. Click to view the back image larger:
