In New York in 1970 she began her own company, Domino Patchworks Inc, designing and manufacturing children’s wear and children’s specialty bedding for the trade: department stores, mail order catalogues, and gift stores. At the same time she worked on commissions with New York area interior designers, producing quilts, pillows and window treatments. For the last twenty years or so she has primarily spent time as a fiber artist, designing one-of-a-kind quilts, wall hangings, pillows and other decorative items for the home for private commissions, fine craft exhibitions and solo and group shows. As a decorative painter she has designed floor cloths, furniture and floor treatments, and continues to work in oil, pastel and mixed media.
