South Sea Mirage

I took a class from Paula Golden about designing your own paper pieced quilt. I couldn't quite stick to the rules and did that for the center boat, but I quickly started adding in palm trees and flowers cascading into the view. This quilt is 13" x 14" and was made in 2001

KOI POND

I wish that I had a koi pond in my yard. Since that isn't a reality now, I designed and made a fiber pond. This quilt was made for a 3-D challenge on the QuiltArt internet list and is also shown at http://www.quiltart.com/challenges/3D/

I see some changes that I would make now and I would include a little green seaweed in the corner at the bottom- opposite of the lily pad. Overall , I am very pleased with the colors.

This will have to take the place of me having a real koi pond for now.
