I made this for a dear friend of my husband's. He chose the larimar stone for its healing properties, and I designed the sterling back plate and bezel. She loved it!

I made this for the University of New Mexico Hospital's New Mexico Child Abuse Prevention Program (2015). It is a gorgeous piece of "Wild Horse" magnesite on a sterling silver backplate.

I coordinated the stitching and gathering of these little 1.5" squares for the 2010 Bead-It-Forward for Breast Cancer project. Isn't it wonderful? An anonymous donor purchased the quilt with a donation of $1,000!
