Garden quilts

the whole quilt with the morning glory border

Lots of bugs in my garden, mostly William Morris fabrics in the background and borders hand quilted

Monarchs and dragonfly

Bees and spider the web is hand quilting using a silver thread

Butterfly, frog and caterpillar

The little details in this quilt made it a great "eye spy" quilt when my children were small.

Monarch Butterfly Migration

Any direction I look there are Monarch Butterfies dining on the nectar in the alfalfa blossoms.

Their colors are bright and their wings are not tattered as they begin their journey south.

I found a small group resting for the night in an ash tree. Every time a new butterfly landed their wings all fluttered.

Glorious Morning Glories

Hand appliqued morning glories on a border.

They are almost enough to make me want to be a morning person!

the most blooms in one spot this morning

Pieced morning glory using "tri rec" tools and half square triangles

Neither photography nor watercolor can capture the true color of the heavenly Heavenly Blue

Heavenly Blue Morning Glory

Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers--and never succeeding.----Marc Chagall
