The trees of the Carmanah captured my soul ...
where the spirit of the tree lives strong.
These ancient trees give off an energy all their own.
They bringing beauty, joy and much more to their beholder.

This quilt series was directed by my eagerness to innovate and participate. A constant desire to apply new painting techniques along with the annual Fibre Dance Show motivated and inspired these pieces. Building around the love or heart theme continues to influence my smaller works.
