Debra Harry’s award-winning quilts have been exhibited in shows across the country. She has won numerous awards, including the Curators Award in the Hoffman Challenge and Judge's Choice at the Quilter's Heritage Celebration in Lancaster, PA. She has done commissioned work for nationally known fabric manufacturers and private collectors. In addition to her quilts, Debra has designed a line of patterns that have been carried by several catalog companies. Debra earned her art degree from Rowan University. She combined her love of fabric and knowledge of sewing with her art background to begin quilting in 1985. Her art quilts incorporate hand dyed fabrics, beading, embroidery and embellishments.

My quilts include rich colors, fibers, embellishments and beading. The subject matter usually encompasses ocean themes that explore the beauty of underwater sea life. This piece reflects an ocean theme of sea treasures and the wonderful colors and textures found beneath the sea. Additional interest is achieved with the areas cut away from the middle of the quilt, exposing the darkness behind.
