Description
“I create one of a kind fabric compositions using my photos which I print on cotton, silk, linen and burlap using my inkjet printer. Sometimes I print directly onto the fabric after backing it with paper so it will easily feed through the printer. Other times, I incorporate collage elements, paint, and pre-coats made especially for inkjet printers, before printing. After adding batting and backing to the print, I begin to quilt using both my sewing machine and hand embroidery. Sometimes I add borders as in traditional quilt making. Other times, I mat the finished pieces and have them framed.”
