  • This half-cabin quilt is composed of 6x5 blocks. Each block is sashed in ivory with colorful pieces at each intersection.

    Stitched with thick ivory Sashiko style thread by hand.

  • This quilt was pieced with a machine and hand quilted. The linen was hand dyed by the artist.

    This was hand quilted with thick Sashiko style thread following the pattern in the center of each strip.

    The strips were cut by eye so they are irregular. The strips were sewn together and then cut at the edge of each section.

    The binding is machine stitched on the front and hand tacked on the back to hide the stitches with mitered corners.

    The back is naturally dyed linen constructed out of fabric remnants.

This large scale flying geese quilt is composed of 100% linen hand dyed with natural dyes and hand stitched. I made so many of these flying geese, but when I started composing the quilt, I decided to keep the colors within this flesh tones color scheme. This meant that I had many extra pieces left over that later turned into the pinwheel shower curtain quilt.

This quilt is large enough for a twin or full size bed, but also works as a lap blanket too.
