Under-water Windows

I was very fortunate for 25 years while living in Atlanta to have an absolutely super doctor, Maggie Mermin. She saw me through recovery from and all the subsequent after-effects of brain surgery and many other much lesser ailments and crises. She is not only an excellent doctor, but also a kind, caring and warm person who was most generous to me in many ways and who I trusted completely.

When leaving Atlanta, I gave her this wall hanging, a Laurel Burch panel which I chopped up and sewed back together. It was machine quilted by Regina Carter.

Muti's Flower Garden

Another flower quilt. This one machine pieced, backed with soft and snuggly flannel, and machine quilted by Regina Carter.

I made it for my mother-in-law, Muti, for mother's day.

Courthouse Steps to Justice

I worked at the Southern Center for Human Rights, in Atlanta for almost 20 years. It was a dream job. I made this quilt, which was machine quilted by Regina Carter, for the Center in appreciation when I left the office in April, 2008.

Flowers for Trish

I made this throw for Trish Hale - administrative assistant extraordinaire at the Southern Center and gave to her shortly before my last day at the Center.

I hand pieced and hand quilted it - mostly while in Denmark in February for my mother's funeral.

Trucker's Home Away from Home

This is a quilt I made for my brother-in-law Jim who is a truck driver. Though he gets to come home on the weekend, he often spends the night in his truck during the week.

I collected all the flannels I had for it. Most of them were old fashioned checks - the type you would see in a flannel shirt - and a few very different. I cut them all in 8" squares and sewed them together. And, what was left over was pieced for the back. This is the first and so far only quilt I have machine quilted myself!
