2024

In 2024, I’m making traditional blocks embellished with hand embroidery, but I’m moving away from vines and flowers. These blocks will have a more modern feel and will incorporate other techniques such as fusible applique.

The samples will be made with purple and gold fabrics on a white background. All these blocks finish at 12″ square.
