Wonky Circles Finished and Ready to Go!

The green in the photo is a little darker than it is in real life. If you right-click on the image, you’ll see the stitching lines…
“Improvisations in Color” Show at Great Falls Library
I’m pleased to announce my “Improvisations in Color” solo show is up in the main conference room at the Great Falls library. The show runs through June 30, 2012 and includes 25 recent wall hangings.

“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…

The auction is a major fundraiser for the group, which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting quilts as art.
