Getting Ready for the Studio Tour This Weekend – “Currents”
While I’m getting ready for the Great Falls Studios 8th Annual Studio Tour this weekend, I’d like to share “Currents” from my “30 quilts in 30 days” project earlier this year. I think this turned out to be one of my favorites! This is what I wrote about this one when I finished the design…
“Tides” – getting close to the end
I’m getting close to getting all 30 of my project pieces quilted. It’s been more of an undertaking than I realized when I started! Today’s feature is “Tides.” I tried a new quilting motif on this one, and I really like the way it turned out. It’s at the bottom of the piece in the…
“Garden Path” – rescued and renamed!
Yesterday was a perfect day for working in the studio. Soft rain, a little fall chill in the air . . . I spent part of the day working on “Forest Path,” which I have to admit was one of my least favorite pieces from the project. I think I rescued it! Sometimes an otherwise…
More Texture
I finished the quilting on these two pieces this weekend and there’s quite a contrast in the textures. “Neighbors on the Square” at left has a curved fan motif to unify the center, surrounded by cloud-like curves. If you right-click on the image, you’ll be able to see the detail more clearly. For “Box of…
“Captured Marbles” in Progress
I’m working on the quilting for “Captured Marbles” from my 30 art quilts in 30 days project and couldn’t wait to show it! This is a variation on the pebbling motif that I like so much, but it has more of a feather feel to it. Plus it’s a little quicker to stitch than pebbling–a…
“Birds of Great Falls” Exhibit at Great Falls Library

The exhibit shows 53 works of art in all media, depicting the seven bird species in our village-wide contest to choose…
Great Falls Studios Spring Art Festival April 9-10
I’ve quilted a couple of the pieces from my 30 art quilts for the month of March project, and I’ll have them on display at the Great Falls Studios Spring Art Festival this weekend, Saturday April 9 and Sunday April 10. The Festival will be held at the Village Green Day School on Walker Road…
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…
