	Octopus’s Garden “One of my favourite techniques is this raw edge appliqué . Fabrics are cut to look like fish and plants and are stitched onto a pieced backing. I do not use commercial patterns nor do I sketch first. I am an intuitive designer just placing surface embellishments as I feel inclined.” Price $450

	Floradale School in Mississauga Ontario is a very multicultural school. This major art project was meant to reflect its diversity. The children were given a square of white cotton secured to a board and a box of indelible wax crayons. They were invited to draw a picture of what peace means to them. Some of the sayings were heartbreaking “Peace means having a father “ Peace means no more guns” I collected over 60 of the blocks and spent hours removing the wax with a hot iron and paper towels to reveal the fabric stained from the crayons. I then asked the children to bring a piece of fabric from their homeland to use as sashing.

	This wall hanging is 6 ft in diameter and was one of the hardest quilts I ever made. The ties were sent on a monthly basis to a teacher in Nunavut from his wife in Ontario. The students eagerly awaited the arrival of a new tie each month so this quilt, which now hangs in their Toronto home brings back lots of memories.
	This wall hanging was one of a series of three. The second one was in summer colours and the third one with a fall theme.
	Northern Lights I made this wall hanging when I came home from working in Yellowknife. I went out onto the tundra one night with a group of Japanese Tourists. They believe the Northern Lights are the spirits of their ancestors sending them messages. A belief that got stronger as the night progressed with countless visits to a handy tent serving saki shots. It was surreal laying in my back in the snow wearing a bulky snowsuit Watching natures pyrotechnics
