“Rhapsody in Blue Leaf” is just a fun little quilt I made for the heck of it. I fused a background of rectangular batiks onto a base fabric, then stenciled the leaf on top (my own design). I embellished it with sparkly tulle and quilting.

Rubee K was created in response to my small group challenge (“Running With Scissors”). We started with a photograph of a beautiful watercolor painting by Colorado Springs artist Pat Smith. I stayed true to the colors of the painting, but took the opportunity to try numerous materials and techniques that I had been wanting to attempt–fabric paint, Texture Magic, beads, tulle with wires for 3-dimensional effects, and I made the quilt go “outside the lines.” It was fun to experiment!
