Why quilting?
In the early 1970’s, a neighbor in Southern California showed Judith
a collection of quilts she had in a steamer trunk.
While the neighbor, Aunt Dessie, sent her home with
a couple of traditional quilt patterns,
it didn’t take long before Judith veered from the traditional.
​
By the late '70’s she was recycling fabric
from used clothing to create images of the rolling hills and sheep pastures that surrounded her in Northern California.
What Aunt Dessie started turned into a lifelong love of playing with fabric to create delightfully whimsical Art Quilts.

Note from Judith
Inspirations for DreamMaker Art Quilts come from my imagination, and in the case of commissioned pieces,
from listening to my client describe a vision, image, intention, or desire they'd like depicted with fabric.
My art speaks to what connects us to each other, the planet, and our personal sources of power.
I love the creative process of using fabric to bring images to life that soothe, delight, and empower!
Here are some recently commissioned Art Quilts. I'm excited to do more.
Please contact me if you're interested!

Repurposed Fabric Ties
Dan retired and wanted a wall hanging made from his collection of now "retired" work ties.
He asked for a wooded landscape with wolves, an eagle and a hawk.
