Honoring My Friend

My friend recently lost her battle with cancer. Gayle was an accomplished artist in the medium of textiles. She took up quilting late in her creative life when her back gave out working the looms. She was well known in the world of weaving. Her tapestries, woven designer clothing, and art quilts are "out there" in many people's lives and homes ... including mine. I made a video of the few photos that I have of her multitude of quilts (many of them award winning) to honor her.


To honor Gayle's hope and courageous battle I created this piece that is up for auction at the Collage Mania Fiberart For Auction Monday and Tuesday, May 5th and 6th.

Hope - 11"x 8" (2008)

It is just one of 235 collages for this Fiberart For A Cause fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Mine is on page 14. One-hundred percent of the proceeds goes to the ACS.

PS: Over $8000 raised on Monday.
