More recent work (2008 and 2009) is on the page shockingly titled…Recent Work. What follows is my life story in quilts (not really, since some of the early stuff has not yet been recorded digitally).
2007
Walking Time Bomb, 2007, 43 1/2′ w x 53″ h
Drowning Mary’s Baby, 2007, 50″ w x 65″ h. Another dream.
Birdsick, 2007, 23 1/2″ w x 23 1/2″ h. Based on a drawing I did of my son when he was running a fever and reading a book.
2006
Earth Mother, 2006, 32″ w x 82″ h; this piece is a pain to photograph. As soon as I can afford professional photography, this is the first one they get.
I love this piece…it has so many pieces and details…
Still Life with Bloody Head, April 2006, 47 1/4″ w x 46″ h; when I took this one to quilt class, they wanted an explanation. Can’t do that, folks.
I actually hated this quilt when I finished it…it needed to grow on me. Detail…I like how all the hands turned out.
Weighted, April 2006, 23 1/4″ w x 53″ h; a piece made after a truly weird dream…
Held Hostage, April 2006, 51″ w x 51″ h; a lot of my work deals with my health issues, which I find increasingly frustrating.
I drew all the little details on the side while I was teaching DNA…apparently cells got on my brain.
Think It Over, February 2006, 13 1/2″ w x 13 3/4″ h; the original drawing was done while I was still in college. I was trying to work smaller (which I find very difficult) so maybe I can finish more pieces during a year.
2005
So Deep, So Wide; December 2005, 54″ w x 29 1/2″ h
Two-Headed Beast, November 2005, 40″ w x 54″ h; Divorce quilt…duh.
Lost, May 2005, 51″ w x 51″ h; I’m not sure what to say about this one…
2004
Fallen, December 2004, 26 1/4″ w x 22″ h; not in my possession; from a Laura Wasilowski class.
Portrait of an Ex, August 2004, 35 1/2″ w x 44 1/2″ h; It is what it is…
High Tide, August 2004, 45″ w x 59″ h; A title based on a short story I read.
No Domestic Tranquility, January 2004, 42 1/2″ w x 39″ h; Wacky story behind this…I traced it upside down and didn’t realize until I was ironing all the pieces down. I went with it.
2003
Areas of High Pressure, July 2003, 34″ w x 39 1/2″ h; Finally rephotographed.
Couch, Alone; June 2003, 51 1/2″ w x 48 1/2″ h; Also finally photographed in the whole.
Third Eye Blind, May 2003, 51″ w x 64 3/4″ h; this picture was finally taken properly…previously, the top was draped over a couch and it looked really distorted. I still need to retake it for better color.
2002
Odalisque with Pills and Ravens, August 2002, 46″ w x 34 3/4″ h; one in a series of Odalisques that stretches back to my printmaking days.
Bless Me Father, for I Have Sinned (aka Give Us This Day Our Daily Head), May 2002, 23 1/2″ w x 53″ h x 4″ d
No photo available yet…
Caught in the Headlights, January 2002, 38 1/2″ h x 30″ w; this is one crazy psychotic quilt. The title says it all…
And a detail of the crazy woman…
2001
Picking Evil’s Scab, November 2001, 35 1/4″ w x 42 1/2″ h; One of my favorite pieces, but has only been in one show. I’m saving it for my retrospective.
Let There Be Light, November 2001, 55 1/4″ w x 56 3/4″ h; This is a big, complicated piece that now has a much better photograph.
Let Not Your Heart Be Disturbed, September 2001, 26 1/4″w x 36 1/4″ h; One of my responses to 9/11.
In a Dive, May 2001, 37″ w x 47 1/2″ h: the Century of Progress contest and fabric line. I won first place and some money, which was nice.
When Laundry Attacks, January 2001, 40 1/2″ w x 40″ h; Realize I had a 4-year-old and a 5-year-old at this time. My life was laundry. My life is STILL laundry, but the slave labor is bigger and stronger, and somewhat more intelligent.
2000
To Birth, From Birth, June 2000, 35″w x 27″ h. I was looking at too much Frida Kahlo that year.
1999
A Study in Flesh, one of my earliest quilts. This was started in a Joan Colvin class, but I was the only one doing nudity…
1999, 33 1/2″ w x 28″ h
Joan told me I could enter this piece in any show, because although I did it in her class, it was all mine.
I’m still missing a few, which hopefully I’ll catch the next time I do photographs.

Hi Kathy,
Ijust waited on your Mom in the quilt store I work in here in Mt Shasta, and she was nice enough to share you web site with me.
Your quilts are fantastic, whimsical and thought provoking.
Thanks, Angela
