It’s a New Year
It’s a new year and time to get back to the studio. Those of you who know me realize that I have been suffering with arthritis for years. This fall, I had bilateral hip replacement, so I can now move

I realize it is barely summer yet, but this 3D piece says autumn to me. I haven’t titled it…therefore the question mark… I am having a difficult time… I can’t seem to move past the general concept of autumn

Space Time Continuum
SPACE TIME CONTINUUM is finished. I’ve been good about finishing the quilts that needed to be bound and I’ve done some new ones, also. Busy, busy, busy. I’ve been incorporating texture into my quilts, but typically, the pieces are more

Painting and Quilting in 3D
I’ve been painting and quilting, but assembling the pieces in a different way. This year, the Clay Festival has a central theme of vessels. Although most calls are for clay, there is one call that is open to other mediums. The

I’m still exploring how to use dimensional elements on my quilts. I’m making 12 X 12 inch quilts for two reasons…one, because I can try many different applications in a shorter amount of time, and, two, because my donation for
