Moss Works Quilting; My Mom's Portfolio Website

My mother has been a quilter and a seamstress - an artist - all her life. She even experimented in oil painting and drawing throughout her youth.

Growing up, it was common for us both to pass a long, quiet evening listening to Loreena McKennitt and coloring together, in mature-content coloring books like 'Life In A Medieval Castle and Village' by John Green, or 'Goddesses of the Celts' by Jennifer Evans. We would often sketch outdoors, on a trail or in the garden, and inevitably compare composition or content ideas for a new project.

Anyways, now my mom has branched out a bit. You can browse her current studio work, her 'Heirloom Tomato' pin cushions and other gift items, or her portfolio of work at her new website, here:

Here are some sample captures of a few tapestry pieces she has done over the years (most recent at the bottom):
