| I've had numerous articles published patchwork and textile
magazines. Here's a brief sample of just a few. |
| Fond
Memories
I've been working recently on the concept of "memory quilts"
using the computer to scan and print images that capture fond memories.
This article explores the process, illustrated by two of my quilts
- Happy Days and Reflections On A Distant Scene.

Kente Cloth
Kente is the majestic woven cloth of West African chiefs. I just
love it and I've used it as a design inspiration for two quilts
called Kente and Adwinasa - All Motifs Are Used Up.
This article explores the Kente tradition and its influence today.

The
Incredible Journey
I researched the story of the Three Cats fabric or "Manchester
Blue", which I sell in the African Fabric Shop. I wrote about
this fascinating fabric in the March 2002 issue of Popular Patchwork
magazine. There's also a fun cushion project for you to do!
