I just finished a pillow as a gift for my friend's 60'th birthday. She likes bright colours, especially blue. All the petals are floating like prairie points, and there are 60 of them!

another student's great work
This is the completed work from another OCAD student who took my quilting workshop. I think she did a remarkable job! How interesting that she decided to leave the batting exposed around the perimeter of the top fabric, as she left the bottom fabric a bit larger to create a second frame. This is what happens when you introduce non-quilters to quilting techniques, they come up with great new takes on old traditions! Martina calls this piece Weathering the Storm, and by the looks of things she is weathering her storm quite beautifully! Congratulations Martina!

100's project with Jake
After my son helped me hang it from the ceiling with the fishing wire, he couldn't resist tucking himself right in there with my creations!

detail
This is a detail of my quilt, showing that I created the shadow effect by intensively quilting it with a black thread.

Jake's portrait
This is my son's latest work. It is a self portrait. He used newspaper font as his underpainting, and then acrylics with a gloss medium.

goddess series
I do return to the female form frequently. I find it so beautiful. I love to create the form in a joyous, position of power and triumph. This is done using the technique of painting with acrylics on fusable.
silk painting
21" x 13.5"
While experimenting with silk painting, I wondered about layering up some pieces of silk and doing some free motion stitching on top to pull out some design elements, and these were the result. Free motion on silk is a dream to do and really lends itself to intricate stitchery. I feel both these pieces 'read' as quite female.
