 The tree motif of our bed comes to life in this quilt.
       
     
 To fit a landscape on a bed without turning it sideways, I needed a special landscape. I chose a slot canyon.

 My very first quilt.
       
     
 Lily Brook was the first big lighting project for our house. We spend a lot of time in the kitchen and want the lighting to be functional and fun.

 Our house was built around an oak tree. It was the loveliest part of the front porch, which was otherwise quite dark. When it died and had to be removed, we reworked the front porch to include trees of light.

 Cats wait for us to come home at the window by the front door.  
       
     
 Handmade mulberry paper was cut into billowing shapes and arranged above a crown molding.
       
     
 Glass shades are suspended from a decorative junction box on the ceiling. A circle of fused glass and an aluminum ring form the box.
