“Endless Marbles” is Day 13
Back to the Marbles theme again, “Endless Marbles” is Day 13. I’m having fun with these curved shapes after several days of more linear designs. Looking at the photo, I may have to rework the borders on the right side so the edges of the top and bottom units don’t fade into the border, but…
“Tides” is Day 12
“Tides” is the top for Day 12. As I feared, I’ve gotten behind on my blog posts since my son has been home from college for spring break, but I’m still getting the tops done. I’ll get caught up soon, I promise! I used some of the leftover units from “Shades of the Ocean” and…
“Rowhouses” is Day 11
“Rowhouses” is the top for Day 11–and I feel like I’ve built the entire neighborhood today! This one wins the prize for longest construction time so far. I began it at 11 AM this morning and just finished at 5 PM this afternoon. Piecing all those small shapes really takes time. This was really an…
“Box of Marbles” is Day 10
My son is home from college for his spring break, so I may not be able to get my blog posts up every single day for the next week or so, but rest assured I’m working on the project every day! “Box of Marbles” is the top for Day 10–I’m a third of the way…

Decisions, Decisions
I’ve had this piece in process on my design wall for more months than I care to think about. I can’t seem to find the inspiration to finish it. One problem is I’ve gotten more interested in exploring pieces made with solid fabrics, so this feels like I’m not moving forward. Another is this is…
The First Quilt of 2011
This is my first quilt of 2011, created for the Studio Art Quilt Associates 2011-2012 traveling trunk show titled “This Is A Quilt!” These are small pieces–quiltlets really–that will be matted so that only an 8″x8″ opening shows. The trunk show will travel throughout the US over the next two years to showcase the work…

Chasen is a beautiful fine art gallery with a wide variety of art, from paintings to sculpture to glass, and now textile art! They have five of my pieces, including one of my favorite new works from 2010, Red…
Word for 2011 – Explore
Last year I picked “Expand” for my word for 2010. It may seem like a silly exercise, but for me it worked. I started on a brand new series of work, like Aztec Autumn at right, that I’m very excited about, I created a presence on Facebook, I got into several well-regarded national shows and…
