I thought you might enjoy a few more photos of the kids in the summer art class I taught. Cyrah and Jaylina were usually fully engaged with their painting. They easily mastered mixing colors and generally used a wide variety. Click any image for a larger view The older girls, Tiana and Desiree, liked spraying […]
Lately, I’ve been packing up several quilt to ship them to shows. While doing so, I’ve been feeling really spoiled by my new shipping station. It’s just an empty table with supplies nearby, but it’s SO convenient! (Yes, I said empty table people. What a luxury!) One show required that I send hanging dowels with […]
Do you have Crepe Myrtles in your area? They thrive here in the south and I just love them. Not only are their blossoms beautiful, but their shapes and their trunks are as well. I especially like the way the branches droop when they have heavy blossoms on them. To start designing the quilt, I […]
While visiting family I bought a book called How to Paint Flowers in Acrylic, by Tim Fisher. The loose quality of these flowers really intrigued me! Then, my niece, Nolie, and I found some TINY canvasses (3 x 3 and 2 x 2) and we just HAD to play! We got out my mom’s acrylic paints and […]
I recently got to visit my parents and extended family in rural Virginia. The country vistas are always beautiful, but they were especially green and lush in the middle of summer. (Even though they were having a dry spell.) I really enjoyed seeing all the things I don’t get to see in my Florida suburb: rolling hills, round […]

How teenagers pose for pictures: How young children pose for pictures: 🙂 Either way, they’re a fun group to work with. Ellen Lindner P.S. Read about these girls learning how to mix paint colors.
“Mine turned green.” “Hey, mine too!” This is what was heard when the students in my summer art class were asked to mix a little blue paint with some yellow. A discovery! Green paint! They were very excited by this. And then came orange. And purple. My ten girls were delighted to learn about […]
I’m LOVING my new quilt storage system! I’m putting the larger ones under the bed. Click any image for a larger view I’ve got them on a piece of thin housing insulation. It’s rigid but lightweight and it all slides easily in and out. The twin bed accommodated a piece measuring 40″ x 72″. Large […]
Oh, I’m a lucky girl! I’ve got a new space for quilt storage and shipping! It all started when I was trying to find yet another spot to store something quilt related. This time it was easels and other display items. I already had things wedged between the furniture and walls of my studio, as […]
