Over the last couple of years I’ve had a lot of fun with the Sketchbook Project…sending them a variety of small fabric pieces as well as a couple of little drawing books. They are in Brooklyn and collect small books from artists all over the world. This spring they went on the road with part […]

Seeking Order
Neither art-making nor quilting, my two main endeavors these days, are orderly processes for me. (I AM orderly in the kitchen…learned behavior after over a decade in a restaurant kitchen…but in other work, my work-space becomes something of a disaster area. I’ve come to believe that if it isn’t a mess, nothing good will come […]
Manuel Izquierdo: Almost Ready
Meanwhile, over at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, the Manuel Izquierdo sculpture show (“Myth, Nature and Renewal”) that R has been working on for most of 2 years, is coming together at a rapid pace, and is going to be stunning…here are a few “behind the scene photos… …and then today…TA DA…the book has […]

Householding at the Beach…
We’re tidying up for New Year’s Eve, and to do my part (not even close…) I took on the dusting of the rooms I can get into in the wheelchair. Wheelchair dusting, it turns out is kind of fun…a different vantage point and a way to appreciate things anew. I started in the bedroom dusting […]

Where are we??? The North Pole????
The Wedding Quilt
When she heard Zach and Ashton were getting married, my sister in law LeeAnn immediatelsuggested we make a quilt…because she’s a quilter. She suggested she make half the blocks and I make half the blocks, and she chose a Becky Goldsmith applique pattern. Each block could vary between 9 and 11 inches wide, and would […]
