Indigo Quilts

Obituary. ©2022, 33” x 47.” Raw edge applique/stitched shibori & quilted by hand. Indigo, fiber reactive dyes, cotton.
As I age, I’m rather aware of time. I was fascinated the way growth rings tell such a full story of the tree’s life. I was also taken aback to realize this revelation marks the tree’s death.

Rebellion Or Surrender. ©2021, 33” x 47.” Raw edge applique/boro, sashiko stitching &quilting by hand. Hand dyed cottons.

As I age, I’m rather aware of time. Circumstances can change quickly. Mysteriously the gingko tree drops it leaves overnight. Inspired by Howard Nemerov’s poem— “The Consent” addresses this wonderment as well as its wider implications that particularly suit our times.

Rocky Shore. ©2021, 22” x 18.” Whole cloth, natural dyes, hand quilted. A seashore image became an opportunity to explore natural dyes—alkanet, cochineal & indigo.

Rushes & Slow Ripples. ©2021, 23" x 38.”Based on sketches from Ipswich River Audubon Sanctuary. The challenge: create a landscape entirely of striped arashi & bomaki shibori.
