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…
Not a Quilt, But What Great Colors!
It’s been such a busy week, I haven’t had much studio time, but I had to share this great Japanese Maple outside my kitchen window. The color is fantastic this time of year! I gave a talk on color to a wonderful quilters group — the Cardinal Quilters — in Alexandria yesterday, and one of…
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…

“Red Totem” Unveiled
Red Totem is the second piece that received a “skinny email” from a major national show–see my earlier post for the other piece, Aztec Autumn. Although I’m disappointed that neither of these quilts were accepted, I’m pleased about having them to show at the Great Falls Studios Studio Tour this weekend! I’m very excited about…
“Playing with Crayons II” at Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery
I created a smaller version of my Playing with Crayons quilt for the current show at the Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria. The show is titled “the Child Within” and it’s going to be up for another week. I don’t usually make different versions of the same piece, but Crayons…
“Aztec Autumn” Revealed
Well, I got a “skinny email” from the major show I entered this piece into–meaning it was not accepted, so now I can unwrap it and show it off! It’s called Aztec Autumn and I’m really happy with the way it turned out. I thought it had a chance of being accepted, but you can…
Great Weekend at Annmarie Garden!
I had a great weekend at the 2010 Artsfest at Annmarie Garden in Solomons, MD.–the weather was gorgeous, my tent was in the shade and I met lots of wonderful people who love art! I’d never done this show before, and it was my first two-day outdoor event as well. It was very well organized…
