                            My first experience with quilting resulted in a vest I wore proudly as a guest to a quilting guild in Florida.  One member commented on the flowers made from a book by Kumiko Sudo and as she looked at the garment more closely she said "You didn't bury your knots." Harrumph!  Not only was I clueless as to what she was telling me, I found that when I learned proper technique, I couldn't care less.
                            My approach to fiber arts is summed up in two words--"What if?"  Shopping in thrift stores, hardware stores, walking the beach and woods provides a never ending supply of embellishments.  This exhibit inclues jackets made from matress pads, tablecloths, original silk screen works of art, Yukata from Japan and hand painted art from an unknown Masai woman.
                            Each item of wearable art started with one main piece of fabric and a "what if" idea.  The fun for me is the "auditioning" process where many fabrics are pinned to a design wall and colors, textures and patterns are chosen sometimes instantaniously and sometimes after months of thought.
                            Thinking outside the box has brought a quirky tongue in cheek element to my work and conversely to my view of the world as a senior citizen."
