Mandala backpack front

Genette — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:37:39 GMT

This is a backpack that I designed with 4 mandalas (one on each side.) These were digitized, appliqued and embroidered. I made up the designs and pattern of this bag for my granddaughter. I used a waterproof fabric and a lot of quilting/embroidery to make this bag last for a lot of use.

Grecian Urn backpack Front

Genette — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:45:01 GMT

This backpack was inspired by a Grecian urn. I wanted to make a six sided backpack that would retain its shape when worn. I digitized the images, embroidered and quilted the backpack to try to keep the feeling and beauty of the old vase.

The finished quilt Tree of Jesse

Genette — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 23:26:50 GMT

This quilt has taken me about 18 months to make after the idea swished around in my head for a few years. The window is digitized, appliqued and embroidered. Around that is my rendition of the street scene of the Via Dolorosa in the form of quilt lines. on either side I quilted palm leaves from palms in my yard as patterns. I absolutely loved making this quilt.
