Quilt - "Senior" Prom
This quilt measures 31" x 42". This is a traditionally created machine pieced quilt that could double as a lap robe. The center panel is a print of an older couple dressed for a formal dance or wedding. I have embellished them with ribbons, beads, and appliques. (See Detail.) All my wall hangings include a hanging sleeve attached to the back for hanging easily on a rod. This was originally created to be an anniversary quilt and would make a wonderful anniversary gift for a special couple

Creations by Stephanie
I have worked with fabric since I was 15 years old. I began as a dressmaker and have created many gowns and wedding gowns for myself, my daughters and other family members. For a time, I created teddy bears, Priest and Deacon stoles, and sewed neckties for a shop in Rochester NY.
About a year ago I took a leap into an altogether different kind of sewing and now I design and create quilted Landscape Wall Hangings. This has become a passion for me.
I often do custom work, creating views from peoples' homes or cottages. Please know that my work results in impressions of a view and is not to be compared with photographic images of a scene. My excuse for this is that "artists play!"
I have given several talks around the Maine area about the connection between art and spirituality and have begun teaching others the art of landscape quilting.
