Autumn Stripe Table Runner Published in Modern Patchwork Winter 2014 Issue – Giveaway
I’m pleased to announce that my Autumn Stripe table runner has been published in the Winter 2014 issue of Modern Patchwork magazine.

Using improvisational techniques, I created abstract designs for this work using only solid colors–no patterns. The solid colors mean that…
Making Sense of Show Entries
I don’t have any new work to show because I’ve spent the last few days going through the list of shows I’d like to enter and going over my inventory of quilts to see what I want to enter where. It’s surprising how much time all that takes. The first entry was due this week…
Back from the Festival–New Project in the Works
I’m back from the Annapolis Arts & Crafts Festival–almost everything is unpacked. I’m happy with the way my booth turned out. The focus was on my new Color Abstractions series, plus some fun pillows–and I got really great positive feedback! That’s always a nice feeling. It was a hot, hot weekend–many thanks to those of…
