PIQF-Part 1: Abstract and Wholecloth

November 6, 2014

I had about 4 1/2 hours to see the vendors and quilts at Pacific International Quilt Festival this year so my photos will reflect that meager time frame. There were entire sections that I missed. What surprised me was how drawn I was to the abstract work! I don’t do abstract…yet. But especially after looking […]

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 […]

September 18, 2014

If you’re familiar with Julia Cameron’s classic book The Artist’s Way, you’ll know that she encourages a weekly self-date to view art. I don’t always honor my weekly date but I try-it really does fuel the creative spirit. My date last week took me to Gallery at 48 Natoma in Folsom. Their current exhibit, Bird’s […]

Please Don’t Try This at Home, or, How to Care for Your Slider

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 […]

July Design Master Class-Final

July 31, 2014

I shouldn’t expect every month’s piece in Elizabeth Barton‘s Design Master Class to be spectacular. I have to remember that the whole point of this class is to learn what I don’t know, to experiment and feel free to play. I really loved the whole process this month of working from a piece of music, […]
