Quilting in wood

Hand-Carved and Hand-Painted WoodCarvings

My love of making things by hand, woodcarving, plus the warm and cozy feel that a beautiful quilt brings has led me here. Thank you for looking at my carvings that are individually unique, hand carved with knives and gouges, stained and then meticulously painted by hand.

About

The Artist

I was always a maker. As a child I learned to knit, crochet, needlepoint, embroider, and so many other things that my grandmother shared. But I always wanted to try woodcarving.

As an adult and with the help of a family friend who was a professionally recognized wildlife carver, I bought a carving book, 1 block of wood, 1 knife, 1 gouge…..and I was hooked.

Completely self-taught, yet always learning and finding new carvings to create. Carving one of a kind pieces with only hand tools is what I love. Quilting in wood has become my focus as it was the one handcraft my grandmother and I didn’t get to before she left us. So in a way, I am doing it for both of us.

Thank you for looking.
