Wolf Moon

Materials and Techniques: Machine pieced & quilted, machine and hand appliqué, hand stitching. Hand-dyed cotton, sari silk ribbon, twine, hand-spun art yarn, roving.

Artwork Statement: “Wolf Moon” was inspired by the view from the bay window on the house my parents built in the early 1970s. A view I now enjoy while sitting in my recliner, even in the dead of winter. Although we don’t hear wolves howl in this part of Indiana, navigating January weather does require a certain amount of strength and tenacity, if not wisdom.

The hand-dyed cotton in this piece was created by a master dyer from Maine. After her passing, the remainder of her fabric stash went to a friend whom I met at our local art center. She explained that she admired my work and that she had some hand-dyed fabric that needed a new home. I remain grateful for her trust and generosity and continue to incorporate this beautiful fabric into my work.

Wolf Moon was awarded 2nd place in fiber at the 18th Annual Juried Art Exhibit of the River City Art Association, Terre Haute IN August 2026
