Art Quilts For Your Home & Pleasure.

"My quilts are geometrically designed on a grid pattern in unusual shapes with rich color combinations. Reminiscent of M. C. Escher’s designs, they are very dimensional and directional. The foil-stamping on the fabrics makes them sparkle and glow in sunlight and evening light. Many quilts are embellished with beads and buttons adding more layers of depth and texture. All my quilts are hand-quilted which gives them a soft texture and feel. Hanging them in different directions changes their effect."

With over 30 years in the Graphic Arts as a self-employed graphic designer, Rebecca brings a deep understanding of design principles, color theory, and repeating grid patterns to her work.
Her journey as a fiber artist began in 1975, designing and crocheting clothing before discovering quilting as a medium that offered greater creative flexibility. She began creating small wall-hanging quilts, applying her graphic design expertise to develop geometric, repeating patterns.
Since then, she has created more than 315 quilts, exploring dynamic shapes beyond traditional squares and rectangles—including triangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms. Her work celebrates bold color and luminous detail, often embellished with foil stamping, beads, shells, metallic cording, and gold mesh.
Twenty years ago, Rebecca expanded into a home décor line featuring table runners, mug mats, placemats, pillows, and bags. Inspired by quilt motifs, each piece is crafted from 100% cotton canvas and batiks, enhanced with foil stamping for added vibrancy. Her work is featured in galleries across the country, particularly in the Southwest and Midwest.
