Show Season is Over for 2014 – Great Weekend in Chicago!
Hard to believe that my show season is over for 2014! I did twelve shows this year–more than I’ve ever done in the past–and it was a great year to meet new people and share my work with new audiences. The One of A Kind Show in Chicago was my last show of the year…
One of A Kind Chicago – Day One
Thanks to all for your kind words after my post yesterday! The hanging sticks did arrive just in the nick of time and I was able to hang my three large quilts for the first day of the show. I sent them to myself at my hotel via FedEx two day delivery on Monday, but…
Made it to Chicago!
I made it to Chicago yesterday for the One of A Kind Show and Sale that starts today. It was an interesting travel day–my flight was delayed leaving DC and I was already cutting it close. I had all my work in two large suitcases that weighed just under 50 pounds each, plus a small…
In the Room with Monet
It’s truly awe-inspiring to have my work set up in the same room with originals by Claude Monet! That’s where I found myself yesterday setting up for the American Fine Craft Show at the Brooklyn Museum. The show is being held in an atrium in the museum, with a beautiful tile and glass floor and…

New Work – “Burst of Orange”
My newest piece, “Burst of Orange” is just about ready for the American Fine Craft Show at the Brooklyn Museum this weekend! It still needs to be mounted on the painted black canvas, but the stitching is finished and I couldn’t wait to show it. If you right-click on the image, you’ll be able to…

I’m honored to have won an Award of Excellence at the Downtown Art Festival in Gainesville, FL for the second year in a row. Two judges visit every competitive booth during the day on Saturday to score artists on originality, execution, and overall presentation of their work. At 4 PM, the festival staff and the…
Back to Back Shows – Downtown Art Festival This Weekend!
It’s been a busy week getting ready for back to back shows. Last weekend at the Washington Craft Show was a blast- -and several pieces found new homes, including Improvisations, far left, and Sunset Stroll, left. It’s always fun doing a show near my home–not only do I get to meet new people, but I also get…
Washington Craft Show Starts Today!
The Washington Craft Show starts today at 10 AM. I was down at the Convention Center all day yesterday setting up my booth–always an interesting experience! You start out in an empty, cavernous hall. Then the artists begin to cart in dollies full of display equipment and art. And the happy sound of banging and…
