A little detail from the machine quilting in progress. This piece will probably get a whole lot more stitch love before it’s done.

I continue revisiting older works, like this textile collage from 2020 — hoping to reconnect with it soon and build on it for new pieces.

These sewn collages are from 2021. I have so many unfinished pieces waiting to be completed…

Slow stitches….

I like hand stitching. I’m neither good at it nor very patient… but these little crosses definitely belong in my artist toolbox. Detail from an older textile collage.

I love my scraps. Paper and fabric. I can't decide. So I work with both. Combining and mixing media allows me to merge textures and ideas freely—it's where magic happens.
