Her textile art and quilts have intensive machine quilting on them using various threads, but she occasionally still makes “traditional” all cotton quilts. As far as she is concerned, “a quilt is 'finished' when I’m happy with the way it looks, and it isn’t telling me that it needs something else”.

Over time, she has learned to look fabrics and materials differently.  She has learned to dye fabrics and threads and will leave a piece of hand-dyed fabric on a wall just to look at, and think about, until she knows how she wants to use it.  For example, fabric may look like water after it is dyed, and it will hang on the wall, gradually having other pieces and shapes pinned to it in collage form until it is ready to be sewn into an underwater paradise.  Other fabrics may be unusual and hang on the wall until they “talk” to her, especially those that she has hand dyed or painted.
