Fabric makes quilting an exciting art form.
This is the home for unique, one-of-a-kind, works of fabric art that are useful and affordable as well beautiful. The works you see here and in the Gallery weren't created by piecing together blocks, squares, rectangles or triangles, and they weren't made by using time-worn patterns. These quilts are original, incisive, striking and fresh examples of quilting art at its best, and they're filled with fabrics of glorious colors and textures. In short, they are works of art executed in fabric and they don't look at all like your grandmother's quilts! As you explore this site, you'll see art of all sizes, created in a variety of media and subject matter and in a broad range of prices. Here is art you can use! Your options are limited only by your imagination.

Each work of quilting art has a story behind it and so does this website.
In addition to providing several images, I've given you some brief background information on each work of art so that you can better understand what inspired me to create it. I've often found that the story behind the work can be as interesting or revealing as the work itself. I launched Getting To Home long before "bailout" became part of our everyday vocabulary because I felt that in some way, my art and the stories they told could help others. "Getting To Home" was a play on words. In baseball, getting to home is the goal. For most people, "home" means a literal or figurative place of safety, protection and security. Home is where we feel comfortable and loved and where we're free of fear. Home is where there's hope.

You'll even find the Battle of Gettysburg here – in fabric.
Have you even seen the famous American Civil War battle of Gettysburg depicted in a beautiful array of fabric and color? If you think that it can't be done, check this out. Hours of painstaking historic research went into this quilt and it's just one example of the unusual fabric art you'll find on my website.

Custom quilting is available.
If you like my work but want something that's designed specifically for you, contact me by email and tell me what you have in mind. In your email, please give me as much detail as possible and I'll get in touch with you promptly.

About the Artist
Fabric offers the artist virtually unlimited opportunities to create because each fabric has a personality of its own in design and texture. Although I work in other media (pencil, pastel and paint), I find fabric to be the most exciting and challenging medium because of the infinite variety of pattern, color and finish. To embellish and/or accent my hand appliquéd quilts, I often combine other art media to produce a result that is innovative and realistic. Originals and graphic reproductions of my work are in private collections and have been displayed in such public venues as the Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain House and the Baseball Hall of Fame.
