Another brag…

November 26, 2014

And it’s not about me! One of my students, Luanne Chittenden, won an Honorable Mention ribbon in the Traditional category on her very first entry into Pacific International Quilt Festival-I’m so happy for her! PIQF has only 3 quilt categories so it’s a big deal to get any kind of a ribbon. Her quilt is […]

PIQF-Part 1: Abstract and Wholecloth

November 6, 2014

A Ribbon and the Story Behind the Quilt!

October 23, 2013

I am thrilled to share that my wholecloth quilt, “Morning Breeze” received a Second Place ribbon at Pacific International Quilt Festival last week!

PIQF-Part 2

October 19, 2012

Continuing on with more wonderful quilts and art from PIQF:“Ice Storm”; Stacy Hurt. I did not see the story of this quilt but it certainly speaks on its own. I learn a lot from quilts like this: I love its beauty, its edited simplicity, the emotion and feeling that it evokes.“Color Study 1”; Donna Deaver. […]
