- Working and playing with fabric has always been my passion. I started as a dressmaker/designer. I experimented with cloth and pushed the dressmaker technique envelope. I went beyond the pattern. When I discovered the quilt I was fascinated that large cuts of fabric could be cut into small pieces of fabric, mixed together with other seemingly unrelated fabrics, then sewn together to make one strong visual statement. I was in heaven. Currently, my variations of the string quilt not only push the quilting envelope, it redefines it. I lean towards the rich colors of African prints, tie dyes and batiks and the textures of hand woven African textiles. I integrate them with other fabrics, threads, and embellishments sewn to create a fluid visual flow. I use techniques that enable me to mold and sculpt the fabric into multi-dimensional pieces of art.
