Last week just flew by before I even realized it! I drove home from the fabulous Old Town Art Fair in Chicago on Monday–it was my first time doing the show and it was a lot of fun. The Old Town neighborhood is easily one of the most beautiful settings I’ve ever done a…
Old Town Art Fair is this Weekend!
I made it to Chicago today for the Old Town Art Fair this weekend–Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15 from 10 – 6 both days. Getting out of DC was no easy feat yesterday, and I was glad I had made the decision earlier in the week to make the 12 hour trip in…
I’m Blogging on Craftsy.com!

Reflecting on the SAQA Conference
I stepped WAY outside my comfort zone this past weekend at the Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) annual conference in Alexandria, VA, moderating a panel of local artists and talking about my own work in front of almost 200 other artists.
