I crochet and embroider because I simply have to. Without fiber I would, to quote Carl Carlson, “completely go psycho on all you guys all the time.”

Little Moments I, a vibrant embroidered patchwork wall hanging featuring a crocheted pineapple and pomegranate. The Little Moments series is comprised of 4-inch stitched pieces patchworked together into larger works. I hand-dyed silk and cotton fabrics, as well as cotton embroidery floss and vintage crochet doilies to use in this work. I’ve also used commercially produced threads in the stitching. Many of the botanical crocheted motifs are based on patterns by Suzann Thompson. Little Moments II, a vibrant embroidered patchwork wall hanging featuring a crocheted flower and butterfly.

Friday, I went to Washington, MO to add some new pieces to Room for Art Gallery. I added scarves and some little magnetic art pieces. These guys are the size of a business card and are great for the fridge, file cabinet, or on any metal object you'd like to dress up!

I have a piece in "The Illustrated Accordion," an exhibit of accordion books at the Kalamazoo Book Arts Center in Kalamazoo, MI.

My book is called "The Path." I used a piece of silk I dyed with leftover indigo pulp over the summer then added many, many, many stitches.

I finished up the stitching on these three freeform crochet pieces last week. Today, I washed them and pinned them to block. After they dry, they'll get felt backings and be mounted on wood for hanging.
