- Individual Art Quilts
- This gallery contains some older work and the occasional art quilt that doesn't fit into any of my other ongoing series.
- Beadwork
- Beaded driftwood, bottles, baskets, and any beadwork that doesn't fit into the art quilt or jewelry galleries.
- Beading as Appliqué
- A series of quilts where the beading happened first, and the quilts were then designed to showcase the beaded medallions.
- Beaded Jewelry
- Large beaded neckpieces, talismans, and cuff style bracelets. Even a hat!
- Journal Quilts
- These small art quilts were made for the journal quilt project started by Karey Bresenhan for display in Houston. They also started me on the path to working smaller and smaller.
- Labyrinth
- Various labyrinth forms as textile wall hangings.
- River Stones
- These rounded, stone-shaped fabric mosaics began as an experiment with materials, and developed into explorations of color and movement.
- Rocks and Water
- A series of quilts made with texturized silk as the top layer, and machine quilting evocative of the shore and tide lines of my island home.
- Shards
- Feeling the need for some positive messages in my life, I started this series of small quilts, each with a single word message.
- Shattered Circles
- Take a circle of fabric, cut it up, and put it back together again. Just like potato chips, I couldn't make just one.
- Small Treasures
- Small textile works (usually 12" or smaller on a side), for small places.
- Vessels, Shrines, and Reliquaries
- Containers and flat shrines, many commemorating a person, place or event.
