Inspiration

How amazing is this bead work? I took this picture while at the Indian Village at the Calgary Stampede earlier this month. Absolutely stunning!

I love the wolf on this piece. This really makes me want to start beading!

Here is a picture of the Calgary Stampede 100th Anniversary Quilt. In person it was huge and amazing! Lots of talented quilters made blocks for this quilt and you can see the time and love that was used to create it!

This is my quilt named Magical Moonlight that I entered into the Arts and Crafts Exhibition. It did not win anything but I was happy to see it displayed and enjoyed! It was based on a painting by my friend Shimon Kato, and maybe just a little too modern minimalist for this show. I paper pieced the entire moonlight area and then hand appliquéd it to the outer fabric. I also machine quilted this myself.



Me and my quilt!




This other piece I won a second place ribbon for. This is a collaboration with my friend Shimon Kato. That is a print of his painting in the center which I then used to translate into fabric!
