Greta Roskom retired from a long career as a public-school administrator which has afforded her the time and space to rekindle her passion for art and the natural environment. She enjoys drawing and painting but textiles are her favorite medium. From her vast collection of fabric scraps, she combines colors and shapes to create “interpretive” images of nature. On a background of fabric for her larger pieces or paper for her smaller ones, she pieces together and machine raw-applique stitch her designs. The larger finished pieces are backed, batted, and quilted using different threads and stitch patterns. She hangs them from sticks, dowels, or clothes hangers. The smaller pieces, sewn on paper backings, can be framed.
