Piece and comfort for the eyes, heart, and soul.

Other Mediums

Regrettably, I do not have photos of all my creative endeavors. In years past I have dabbled in embroidery, quilling, watercolor, pastels, oils and tole painting, sketching, stained glass, macrame, candlewick embroidery,  smocking, and hooked rugs. Some reside in other homes and locations.
Others can be viewed on the “Other Creative Endeavors”,  “For the Holidays” tab.

The following are in the artist’s private collection.

Holiday Quilts Puzzle 12/2018

What does a quilt artist do when not creating quilts???
After Christmas, my husband and this quilt artist worked off and on over a few days to put this awesome puzzle together.
(Thank you Santa!)
It was the most challenging puzzle I’ve ever done, but lots of fun! We learned I see colors, while my husband sees patterns.
Of course, the quilts in this picture were completed first. 
Sadly, it looks like a mouse took a bite out of our puzzle… it is missing a few pieces on the lower border. Se la vie…
