I’m off to Houston!

October 28, 2014

Quick post here: I’m packed and ready to go! I’ll arrive this afternoon and hopefully will make the Winner’s Circle tonite. On Wed I have myself scheduled to attend 3 lectures, a lunch and a dinner. I have two quilts on the floor: one in the 500 Traditional Quilts exhibit and my donation quilt to […]

Elizabeth Barton’s Design Master Class-Oct-“Pre Dawn”

October 9, 2014

I walk Basset Boy early in the morning during the hot summer months. It’s so early that both night and morning people are sleeping. The stars are usually bright and visible. I LOVE that hour: all is still-even air conditioners, there are no cars, no pedestrians and the whole earth is shrouded in peacefulness and […]

Artist’s Date-“Bird’s Eye View: Aerial Art”

August 21, 2014

Sometimes I have a forehead-slap moment. This has been a tough week. I have many simultaneous projects/commitments and I’m trying to finish a piece for the Pacific International Quilt Festival deadline-yeah, that’s 12 days from now. So I’m petal-to-the-metal trying to get this piece done. My plan for this piece is to create acres of […]

Not-so-fast fixes

August 14, 2014

Although it’s been a very busy week, I just don’t seem to have a lot to show for it. I was hell bent on fixing my Tabula Rosa vest as well as my July “Take 5” Elizabeth Barton Master Class quilt. Both are going to take longer than I thought but as always, I’m sure […]
