This pieces is made of hand dyed and batik dyed fabrics. The structured is simple. The work is all hand made and hand quilted.

A moment after the rain in late spring, with just a little light coming over the Quantock Hills of Somerset again, is the inspiration for this work.

Duck weed is a pest in Lake Simcoe, Ontario, some summers. To an artist's eye however it can be very attractive.

A lap quilt inspired by the colours of the Islands. The design is constructed by creating blocks using warm colours in the centre and cooler colours around it. The sashing and binding are made from specially hand dyed fabrics depicting the very vivid turquoise hues of the North Atlantic Ocean.
