A note on copyright.  In several recent cases, the courts have affirmed that U.S. copyright protection covers quilt designs even when those quilts incorporate traditional, public-domain block patterns.  Those who might consider copying my quilts to make knockoffs for resale should be advised that I actively protect my copyrights against infringement. This ensures that people who invest in my quilts will continue to own original, one-of-a-kind pieces.   All quilts, images, and text on this website and in my Ebay auctions are copyrighted and may not be used without my permission.
Miniature quilts in vintage and antique fabrics (1835-1945)
These quilts generally range in size from 8"x10" (the tiny Irish Chain in the first picture) to 24" square (the Puss-in-the-Corner in the second picture).  


Contemporary designs in hand-dyed fabrics and batiks
For my own hand-dyes I use Procion dyes and a really beautiful vintage upholstery muslin that looks like silk, but I've recently come across a fabulous source of batiks with great color saturation and some wonderful designs.
