I’m very happy with my latest piece, Exhuberance.

It was originally an ugly yellow-green that I didn’t think I’d use. But, I knew that if I mostly obscured that color,…
What do you get when you add a beautiful setting, great friends, and time to make quilts? Well, fun productivity, of course! At a recent SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) retreat I took my portable design wall, my easel, and ALL of my hand dyed fabrics. I didn’t have an idea when I left home,…
