I am constantly inspired by the landscapes of western Massachusetts where I live and the memories of the farm I grew up on. The creation of a perceived color and the wide variety of colors that are incorporated within this color creates the feeling. I use simple blocks in a variety of patterns to create a story. I use a simple technique I call "quilt-as-you-go". I piece thin strips of fabric together sewing onto a back. This gives me the intense quilting of traditional quilts while letting the variety of fabrics resonate on the front.
