In a previous post, I told you about my visit to Mood Fabrics, in New York city. It housed a HUGE array of fabrics, notions, and trims. Like these white ones: (Click any image for a larger view.)

I had great fun this week, when I was interviewed for a local interior design magazine, called Spaces. The writer, photographer, and editor all showed up at my house for the event. What fun! While I was busy talking to Maria Sonnenberg, the writer, the other two rearranged furniture and accessories, in order to properly […]
The Transformations exhibit paired poets and visual artists for a unique collaboration. “My poet,” Marcia Denius was a delight to work with.

This is just what I was asked to do for the Transformations exhibit, which is opening April 17th at the Brevard Art Museum, in Melbourne, FL. Of course, I’m not the […]
My second class in Hudson was Instant Art Quilt. The ladies were hard at work in this short class (only 3 hours,) so I didn’t make them stop for photographs. Still, I think you’ll get a hint of the wonderfully diverse quilts that were quickly developing. Click on any image for a larger view. Many […]
I always enjoy teaching, and my recent classes in Hudson, FL were no exception. On the first day, I taught Double Reverse Applique. Despite my almost non-existent voice, the students had excellent results! Everyone finished their apples by the end of the day and several were working on pears. Check out the tasty variety! (Some of […]
