Earth Moving is my latest work from my Earth Series. It is 18″w by 24″h stretched around canvas. It contains the “Earth” fabrics along with silk ribbons.
I just mailed this piece to Rochester, New York for their Annual Exhibition running December 2024 to February 2025. I will post more details when available.
Here my statement on this piece –
The Earth moves beneath such as life.
This connection is all that we have,
all that we are.”
Artist Statement:
This mosaic quilt is representative of the vibrancy, evolution and activity in nature throughout the seasons.
Process
This quilt uses 27 different pieces of fabric – commercial cottons, raw silks, and my own digital fabric. Pieces are cut leaving raw edges and then carefully positioned on a whole piece of interfacing to form the mosaic top. The quilt sandwich is the mosaic top, organic acrylic felt and backing cotton fabric. The sandwich is sewn together using cotton thread and then binded with mitered corners.

Artist Statement
Inspired by Like Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Through abstract representation, this quilt explores the spirit of each season from an emotional level, from bottom to top and back around.
Process
This quilt uses 20 different pieces of fabric – commercial cottons, raw silks, upholstery and my own hand-dyed and digital fabric. Pieces are cut leaving raw edges and then carefully positioned on a whole piece of interfacing to form the mosaic top. The quilt sandwich is the mosaic top, organic acrylic felt and backing cotton fabric. The sandwich is sewn together using cotton thread and then binded with mitered corners.
Artist Statement:
When you look at a flower head on, the leaves flow out from the center. But if you look the flower from the bottom then the leaves flow out and up from the center. Thus the name Rise Up!. This quilt is hand-painted with Derwent dye blocks and drawn on with fabric-marked Kona cottons. Making this soulful floral quilt was always in the plan. Unlike other quilters, I’ve waited a long time to do florals; always waiting for that unique way of looking at a subject that so many have looked at and covered. Rise Up! is appropriate for these times as we seek new looks, new perspectives to disappointingly familiar scenarios. Constantly creating, praying and rising up to elevate myself and the world around me.
