I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I used to "suture for a living", I continue "to live to sew". These days most of my sewing is piecing quilts. I love the patterns and interplay of the fabric color. I would like to explore writing about medical/surgical topics as well as sewing/quilting topics. I will do my best to make sure both are represented accurately as I share with both colleagues and the general public.
Our neighbor's daughter is having their first grandchild soon so I made this quilt for them. It is machine pieced and quilted. Measures 38 in square. The expected baby is a boy, the grandfather to be is a pilot. The family loves it which makes me happy.
I made this small art quilt last month and gave it to my ophthalmologist. It's sort of a self-portrait since I used a photo of my eyes/ face but I didn't add all the fine lines/ wrinkles. It is raw-edge applique and both machine and hand quilted. Measures 4.5 in X 10 in. I think he liked it when I gifted it to him at my recent yearly exam.
