Party Dress Everyday (8.5†x 11â€) While in class, I demoed how I attach ruffles for a dress. The girl was fused to a plain green background and I added stitched the ruffles background and quilt sandwich (batting and backing). When I got here home, I stitched lines down the background to mimic wall paper. […]

Finished Class Sample – Sparkly Treasures
She collected sparkly treasures (8.5†x 11â€) Last month, I showed the unfinished version of this quilt that I prepped as a class sample. While in the class I demoed how to attach some of the treasures to the ruffled skirt, but never finished her. She along with a few other samples have been on […]
Published
In January, I set a goal to have a quilt published in Art Quilting Studios. I had two articles in Sew Somerset in June which was awesome but not quite my goal. The December issue is out and I have 3 quilts featured in an article on my Creative Girl Art Quilts. The article looks […]

Prep for Teaching
This art quilt is almost done. I need to add some buttons to the little strings near the top, and attach a few bits and baubles to her skirt. But she will stay this way for a bit – she’s a sample for a presentation I’m doing tomorrow night. I am teaching the group how […]

Ghoulish Good Time
Ghoulish Good Time (13†x 17â€) I stitched the background to mimic bark and then constructed a girl mummy from ribbon that I singed. She was stitched to the background and I strung little orange shell buttons from the trees. I envisioned them as little orange lanterns but perhaps they are poison apples instead. Added […]
Halloween Giveaway
Ghastly Dinner Party (8†x 11â€) After making the Ghastly hoops, I had a snippet of fabric leftover. I thought it would be a great piece to practice doodle stitching. The result is a small wall quilt that needs a good home. If you’d like to give this quilt a home, leave a comment letting […]
Creative Girl Quilts
Her friends knew her heart (11†x 9.5â€) Thank you for visiting today! I hope you had a nice weekend. We had several technology changes in our house this weekend (new phones and upgraded OS on my computer) so I spent a lot of time learning and organized my data. Which led me to discover […]
She loved her patchwork life
(10.5†x 23â€) I had some small scraps left from BeBe and Baby BeBe, so sewed it into a tiny little piece of patchwork, which inspired this art quilt. I like the hanging button lanterns and all the patterns in the fabric. I found the crocheted white and purple lace in my stash along with […]
