Art quilts are made up of lots of small pieces of fabric - both commercially dyed, and hand dyed by me, that are hand cut, then fused onto the background then heavily stitched.  The technique can also be called “raw-edge appliqué” as the edges are not turned under, but are held in place by the fusing process. 

Most of my quilts have a water or sea -theme, as I love water and the ocean and all the animals who reside within of near the water.   Our lives depend on the oceans!
