(I left out a few cats!) It’s easier to see the stronger compositions when in this format. I think my favorite might be the Red Roof, Purple Sky. or maybe Red Shed, Orange Door, Yellow Sky. or Purple Thought. Or maybe Barn Shadows. […]
The smallest of our red maple trees, with the final leaves clinging to its branches caught my eye in late autumn. The background is pieced sections of a hand painted cloth panel from Malaysia, bought at Ladyfingers Sewing Studio in Oley, PA (a treasure trove of fine fabrics.) I had actually made most of this

This is another product of the screen printing class I took. I made three passes with the screen: the translucent blue shadows and tracks, a tan color of the weeds, and a darker colors of some of the weeds, as an accent. Then I heavily hand embroidered the piece. I am excited about this one.

This is a re-do of a quilt I made a few years ago. The scene of this group of buildings, near Yellow House, PA, tickled me because of the colors. I added the yellow sky in the new piece, as a nod to the proximity of a town with a name like Yellow House, and
