Blue Stars began with one of the things I like most about geometric patchwork: a relatively small group of shapes can create a much larger design once color and repetition take over. Across this 19″ x 37″ table runner, three star-like medallions emerge from a network of triangles, diamonds, and squares. The palette stays largely […]

This holiday table runner combines two very different visual moods in one piece. The pieced front is bright and structured, with crisp white sashing separating dark floral squares from smaller blocks of burgundy, teal, pink, and warm gold. Golden pear motifs appear among the deeper seasonal prints, adding a slightly unexpected detail to the traditional […]

Floral Vignettes is a 48″ square quilt built around a series of embroidered wildflower panels framed with black scrollwork. Those detailed floral blocks alternate with cream and rust-brown pieced diamonds, creating a traditional grid with enough variation to keep the surface visually active. The palette is warm and muted: rust-brown, cream, plum, black, and softened […]

Night Moves began with a simple visual idea: a crisp white geometric lattice floating over black, punctuated by blocks of saturated color. At 98″ x 98″, the finished quilt is large enough for a Queen bed, but the scale also gave me room to let the repeated structure develop across the entire surface rather than […]

Black Diamonds is built around contrast: a deep black field gives the piecing a strong graphic structure, while the digitally printed fabric introduces a completely different kind of movement. Its turquoise, violet, coral, jade, blue, green, cream, and shell-like colors have the shifting appearance of mother-of-pearl, abalone, oyster shell, and polished stone. The center of […]

Welcome Poinsettias combines a traditional Christmas palette with a layered patchwork frame. The embroidered center features poinsettias, leaves, berries, and the word Welcome, creating a clear focal point before the design expands outward into more graphic piecing. A wide black border immediately surrounds the embroidery and gives the center strong definition. Beyond that, red and […]

Santa Train is all about line and detail. The entire winter scene is drawn in red machine embroidery across a pale fabric ground, creating the effect of an illustrated holiday sketch translated into thread. A steam locomotive fills the foreground, pulling a long train through snow-covered evergreens toward a small village in the distance. Stars […]

Santa in Flight is centered on a night-sky embroidery that uses contrast more than color. A deep black background allows the white and metallic stitching to carry the scene: Santa’s sleigh and reindeer sweep across the center while a small snowy village, clouds, a crescent moon, and elaborate poinsettia motifs frame the composition. The metallic […]

Christmas Stag is built around line rather than patchwork. The central deer and surrounding winter imagery are created with dense machine embroidery, using black outline stitching almost like pen-and-ink drawing across a cream fabric ground. The design includes holly, berries, pinecones, evergreen branches, distant mountains, and small stands of trees. White embroidery adds another layer […]

Welcome Fall Banner is designed for the kind of wall space that is often hardest to fill: a tall, narrow vertical area where a square or horizontal quilt would feel out of place. The elongated format gives the piece a strong presence while keeping the width compact. The embroidered center spells “WELCOME” from top to […]
