Published and Prepping

October 23, 2014

It’s been a wild ride this week- finding out I will be published again and prepping for Houston! Last week I said I was giving all my brags at once-who knew?

All my brags at once!

October 16, 2014

A lot of good things have happened over the last few months and I haven’t gotten around to sharing all of them. I thought I’d put them all in one glorious shot of shameless self-promotion.

Of mission statements, the internet and showing your art

February 6, 2014

I had a fascinating lunch time discussion during our most recent Regional SAQA meeting. A group of 5 artists were talking about happens when we make our art public. I was in the minority with my approach-I was also the least experienced artist in the group. I recognize that when I put my art up […]

My Take on Trapunto

January 16, 2014

I needed to make another trapunto sample for an upcoming guild visit. I forgot how much I love the texture that trapunto brings to a quilt! I decided to add some metallic thread this time. I can’t figure out how to properly photograph the metallic so that it shows up-those lines are Yenmet Silver Metallic. […]
