My primary fiber technique is Patchwork inspired by my efforts to combat wastefulness in our environment. The smallest pieces of fabric whether new or repurposed, are contained in my home & wardrobe accessories.

The process I used for the “crazy” patchwork tote as pictured, began by selecting colorful & complimentary pieces from my huge stash of scraps. Then my love for jigsaw puzzles kicks in as I sew the pieces together then machine quilt & embroider. Finally, I attach the straps & lining and Voila!!!
