Tree of Life Quilt

Here is my newest quilt, the Tree of Life Quilt. It is my modern interpretation of a traditional Navajo rug design. I paper pieced many of of the elements and machine pieced the top of the quilt together. It was quilted by my friend, the talented Andrea Harris of Urban Quiltworks, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It will be on display at the Calgary Stampede 2014 Western Arts and Crafts Showcase.

Biye' Quilt

This is my newest work Biye' quilt. The Navajo to English translation is "his son." This is a quilt for an old friend who is expecting her first child.

The quilt is backed with a soft and cuddly minky which will keep the baby warm during the winter season.

Paintings

I finished my paintings this week! This is the almost finished picture. Before I hung them I painted the sides a peachy colour. I really love looking at them!



This might be my favourite one.

Here is the little rug that I'm weaving that inspired the paintings. I really love chartreuse right now. And I always love shades of black and white! This was a little loom I set up using a blank picture frame. I set it up in a traditional Navajo weaving way. I need to familiarize myself with the weaving set up so when I go visit my grandmother this year I can learn everything I need to know to carry on the weaving in our family! She is 93 years old so there is some urgency.
