After arranging plants and such, our vignette looked like this: Click any image for a MUCH better/larger view. That’s Renee Decator seated near her painting, and me standing near my quilt. The quilt at left was made by Lynn Greenberg, not shown. Here’s a better view of Renee’s painting, Taking a Bath with You: I […]
Woohoo! My first video is finally online! It’s about a fun little mixed media book. I hope you’ll take a look. I’ve decided to call my video series Adventure Quilt Works, (a name that was suggested by a former student.) What do you think? What would YOU like to see me demonstrate or discuss in a […]
More pictures for you, from the “Collaborations” exhibit. Below is the vignette (in-progress) for painter Lois Mittleman, and quilter Diane Smith. What great lively colors! Click any image for a larger view. Quilter Mary deMunecas and mixed-media artist Donna Vines used “A Partridge in a Pear Tree” as their theme. Donna Vines’ mixed media piece: […]
Imagine grouping art quilters, doll makers, painters, and potters, and then asking them to collaborate on new art pieces. This is exactly what happened with an exhibit called Collaborations, and it was exciting to see! The exhibit was on display for two days, in Melbourne, FL, and was free to all. One of the things that […]
Don’t you just love taking a class? I do, and I also LOVE teaching them! I’ve shared many class photos on this blog, but I don’t always have time to take photos. And, since I thought perhaps you readers were growing tired of them, I didn’t intend to post photos of my recent Double Reverse Applique class. […]
If only it were that easy! I’m really excited about producing free videos for my website, but (as with so many things I take on,) I’ve found it to be a bigger project than I anticipated. No worries, I’m taking it one step at a time and steadily making progress. So far, I’ve learned about […]
Wow! Do you have any idea how bright 1120 watts is? Here’s a hint. Can you say “burnt retinas?” I mean we are talking BRIGHT!!! I’ve just gained this knowledge after my new video lights arrived. We did a quick set up in the living room and got this: Click any image for a larger […]
I’m winding down on Mountain Meadow, so it’s time to add the facing and other finishing details. First, the signature. (You sign your quilts, right? I do, and I consider it an important part of completing the piece.) I have a terrible time stitching my signature straight, so I rely on good ‘ole painters tape […]
Way back in May of 2010, I offered up some photos of a flower wagon as the starting point for a challenge. Several people, (including me,) have created quilts or other art using these photos. ( Just search on Flower Wagon Challenge to see all related posts.) Contempos, a group in Sarasota, FL also took up […]
My quilt, Lakeside Citrus, is currently on loan to the U.S. State Department and on display in the residence of the U.S. Ambassador to Estonia. Pretty cool, huh? The State Department runs a program called “Art in Embassies,” through which artwork is placed in U.S. embassies around the world. An exhibit catalog is created for each […]
