Quilted fiber collage
15 x 13 in.
2024

My collage work in fiber began with a dream. To realize this dream, I “invented” techniques to create a small quilt showing what I’d envisioned. My fiber collages (or, in quilting terms: Broderie Perse) focus mostly on nature themes using images from many different fabrics that I cut apart and assemble into completely new scenes. Each time I create the next fiber collage I feel like I’m creating a brand new story different from anything ever told before.
