Coolmoon This quilt is reminiscent of an M.C. Escher optical illusion. When I learned about the possibility of weaving fabric, I decided to try to create an optical illusion while I was weaving. I used these two colors, mainly because aqua blue is my favorite color, but also because I wanted the piece to be as striking as possible. The piece is stipple quilted, with some silver couching around the outside and several random beads hand sewn on. Woven, Machine Quilted, Beaded ©2001, 11" x 11" Collection of the Artist
	Outerspace The reflections visible in the little mirror like beads on this quilt help it to look like something from outer space. This was a continued experiment in the weaving technique. Woven, Machine Quilted, Beaded ©2001 Private Collection
	Heat Wave I made this quilt in July of 2001 for the Sulky Thread Contest. It was entered in the Amateur Wall Hanging Division, and while it did not win anything, it did travel with the Sulky exhibit for 1 year. Heatwave consists of 3 different design layers. The first layer is the actual background quilt with leaves quilted on it. The second layer is made up completely of thread and includes the tree and background design. The third layer consistes of the colorful appliqué leaves. This piece is reminiscent of late summer/early fall, when the leaves begin to change colors and we get that final Indian Summer Heatwave. Nature has so many colors; I was looking for a way to show them. Machine Quilted, Thread Painting ©2001, 18" x 21" Collection of the Artist
	Moonglow Jinny Beyer Block of the Month Quilt - When I first saw this quilt pattern I fell in love with it. To this day, it is my favorite full size quilt. The Mariner's Compass designs had me pulling my hair out while I was making it, but in the end, it always leaves me breathless when I look at it.

	Motorcycle This quilt was made for a friend who loves and owns motorcycles. The quality of this picture is not good enough to see, but the bike is actually made with a shiny blue fabric from a shirt that I bought from my coworker, Carin. I frequently teased Carin that when she was done with the shirt, I would buy it from her and use it in a quilt. As you can see, she was done with the shirt and I did use it in a quilt!

	Manta Ray My favorite creature is the sting ray or manta ray. This was a fun little piece I made after a trip to my Dad's house in Florida.
