Quilted Landscape Wall Hanging - "Seashore"
Thisquilted wall hanging contains all the elements for which visitors and residents alike, adore the coast of Maine. A person can gaze at this landscape and be on the Summer Maine coast at any time of year. All my wall hangings include a hanging sleeve attached to the back for hanging easily on a rod. My applique work is called raw edge applique and all fabric appliques are attached with fusible material and then edge stitched. This piece measures 16" x 23". It is bright, attractive, and reminiscent of Maine Summers. 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 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 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.
