Great Weekend At Great Falls Studios Holiday Show
It was a great weekend at the Great Falls Studios Holiday Show! We all had fun seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I think it’s so much more fun shopping for gifts from talented local artists than going to the mall! I did some of my Christmas shopping with fellow artist Barbara Gatterdam, seated…

“Mirage” in Process, Upcoming Events
I’ve been working on the quilting on “Mirage” in odd bits of time over the Thanksgiving weekend so I can have it ready for my next show this weekend, December 3-5. It’s just about finished, as you can see if you right click on the image. Check back to the previous post to see an…
New Piece in Process
This is my newest work in process–as yet unnamed. I was thinking about calling it “Mirage” because the colors and shapes seem to shift when you look at it, but I’ll have to ponder that while I’m quilting it. I did a piece similar to this one a number of years ago and it has…

It’s called ‘London Bridge” and it is on display at the Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria until the beginning of January.Do stop by if you’re in the area–it’s a great show and a wonderful opportunity to find a…
Not a Quilt, But What Great Colors!

The exhibit showcases 19 Great Falls Studios artists in a variety of media, including paintings, photography, sculpture and fiber. We’re having an opening reception this Wednesday, November 10…
New Inspiration from Travel
I’ve been off the grid, so to speak, this last week traveling in London, so no work got done in the studio. But that doesn’t mean no work was getting done! My mind was busy with new ideas every day. I loved the colors and textures of a new place and took lots of pictures…
“Abstract Stripes” at Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery
There’s a new show up at the Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery and I have three wall pieces there, including Abstract Stripes, the long skinny piece in the middle at left. You can see a closer view of this piece here. (My apologies for the incorrect links previously. I have been off the grid this last…
