Quilting makes me skip for joy

All over the map

Note: I’ll have a separate post on Friday about the Give-Away, so be sure to check back! This has not been a week that tidily fits into a focused blog post. I’m working on several projects that are longer term, so there may not be a lot to show from week-to-week. I am soooo excited about […]

Traveling-again, and a Give-Away soon!

I’m on the road again, this time I’m going to Portland, Oregon for the Studio Art Quilt Associates Conference, “Fiberlandia“. I’m excited-I will “just” be a participant!

Teaching and Travel

There is a lot of preparation that goes into teaching so sometimes I don’t get to quilt for a long time. In a perfect world somehow there would be a balance between teaching and quilting. I know that I would not want to be a full-time studio artist-I would miss teaching terribly. April has been […]
