Flowers
I have always loved plants, especially ones with showy flowers. I have a graduate degree in Plant Pathology and for many years I worked surrounded by (sick) plants. Flowers are still "growing on me", from 2D flower quilts to 3D "wall flowers" to giant freestanding ones, such as "Root Bound."

“Plantasy” is the name I use for my fantasy flowers and plants. Learn how to create an original wall quilt with beautiful flowers using the following techniques: designing and creating a fabric collage using fused or regular appliqué, free-motion machine embroidery, thread painting, embellishing with Angelina fiber and beads, couching and bobbin drawing. Patterns are available for those who are not confident to make their own designs.
