‘Mixed Media Quilts’ show
When I got home, I found this link in my email that Martha Sielman kindly sent me. ‘Mixed Media Quilts’ would shock and amaze Grandma is a great review of a show in Guilford, Connecticut that I’m in right now. I love what Judy Birke said about my work: A couple of whimsical pieces catch one’s attention. Pam Rubert’s “Mysterious Migration of Miscellaneous...
Read MoreHodge Podge Day
It’s been a crazy multi-tasking day, and I’ve got lots of photos to prove it. I ought to save some or break this up, but don’t know how… Took lots of photos of the sculpture as it’s being dismantled and prepared to take to North Carolina. I’m learning to use Russ’s new digital Canon so that I won’t look like a total dork with it on site. Hopefully...

No naps today, although I was sick most the day which is a good thing everyone keeps telling me. Being that way, I still managed to get quite a few things done which is also a good thing since we’ll be leaving Saturday to take Russ’s sculpture to North Carolina. This morning I interviewed some crane companies in NC and hired one to help us install it at the park. The other art-related...
Read MorePaper Moon Link
Here’s a link to The Paper Moon, the website of artist Ida Pearle. I love her graphic style and beautiful composition. Her work looks so spontaneous and expressive, and yet I read in her bio that these paper collages come together only after lots of drawing and sketching....
Read MoreNap Time’s Over
Great weekend, I think got a good nap in between some naps, and when I wasn’t napping, I was sick. So you can see not much got done other than a few spats of email from the pink sofa. I did get PaMdora’s head put together along with the rest of the quilt top. The instruction sheet in her left hand is done with photo transfers. Sometimes I print written things like menus or magazines...
Read MoreSwap Day
Today was spiced up with a visit from my friend Emmie who has been doing fiber art a lot longer than me. I have been bugging her to make me a jacket ever since I saw her work at a trunk show she gave to our local guild. Here’s the jacket she brought along to show me how to make using a Park Bench pattern called Audubon Park. I’m sorry I can’t show you the beautiful kimono...

Help — I lost my head!
Just kidding! It’s really a work in progress. Here’s the pattern being taped together after tile printing. Using the pattern to trace shapes on Wonder Under, I then iron them to the fabric of choice. Next I cut out the objects and and fuse them to black fabric. Then cut around the shapes again to leave a black border. I learned this trick in a class with Laura Wasilowski. I...
Read MoreAngry Chicken Link
I just found Amy Karol’s blog called Angry Chicken. I love her little quilts at her King Pod website. It looks like she uses vintage fabrics and they have such funny little things in them. They are totally different from anything else I’ve seen.
Read MoreBig News
I promised to tell my big news a couple weeks ago, and time has really gotten away from me. But it’s official as my handy ept test verifies. Actually I used three tests because I couldn’t believe it. The newer tests have changed so that the two lines cross. One line is negative, a full cross is positive–very clear. But I happened to have an older box of tests laying around, and...
