flora-and-fungi (), click to enlargeFlora & Fungi (2004)  123cm x 123cm (48.5" x 48.5")

A rendition of four (holiday)snapshots of flowers and mushrooms. The photos were converted into a patchwork pattern using the computer. Each patch is shaped differently, but the design makes it possible to sew them together in straight lines. Quilt detail.

 
scrap-circles (), click to enlargeScrap Circles (2004)  108cm x 87cm (42.5" x 34")

A packet of 6" squares led to this design. The edges of the pieces follow the direction of the quilted circles. I used the 50 fabrics from the packet for the center, even though it only contains 6 x 8 squares. If you are really bored you can try to find out where the symmetry in the design is broken because of this. Back side.

A photo of Schin op Geul, a village in Limburg (NL), was the inspiration for this quilt. Have a look at the original photo, or a detail of the quilt

A small quilt to fit the window above my front door. A view from the other side.
