are combined and hand stitched into unique collages.

Animals cut outs are handstitched onto the
patchwork landscape and stuffed with a trapunto
quilt technique.
Next come the accessories!

Stuffed 3d cloth dolls, fruits,
vegetables, hats and any imaginable object are individually
handmade with textiles or sometimes other materials such as straw or leather.
Securely stitched to the landscape they complement the
textile art scene.
