Posting on blogs late at night is probably like writing emails when you’re mad…it shouldn’t be done…tired, all the events of the day swirling…too tired to edit… caught in a maelstrom of stitches… roaring off to bed…

Obsessed by Pattern
I’ve always been a little obsessed by pattern. In fabric, floors, clouds, food…the patterns always emerge. One part of quilting I love is just looking at the fabrics and taking all the patterns in… Part of getting back into the studio after a hiatus is looking at past work… …and I immediately saw all the […]
BE MINE!
Hey readers…here’s a recent perfect Valentine’s coffee…wish I was sitting across from you sipping the beautiful brew…(I raise my cup)… …but instead I’m doing stuff like this: using Borax and a “color remover thingie” (Mary’s technical term) to get out the red bleed on the recovery quilt, registering my lost baby quilt (thanks to Bill […]
Drawing as Lampshade Revival…
Well my bedside lamp broke this morning, so I replaced the switch (daughter of an electrician)…and while I had it apart I noticed that the shade was…well…sad. Spots, dirt smudges…ick. Shopping is out at the moment, so I got out my markers and had a go at it… At first I wasn’t so sure, but […]
…And So it Begins…
We’re only five days in, but so far I’d say 2013 is behaving like every other year I can remember…routine, sublime, annoying, lovely, impatient, content, creative and MILDLY destructive (it’s the wheelchair, not me…scraping the woodwork, tsk…). So the sun set on our beach idyll… and we came back to the gloomy fog of the […]

Public Art: ODOT
The Oregon Department of Transportation Building (originally built about 1950) underwent a renovation all year at Capitol and Center Streets, and we went by the other day to check it out. 1% of the cost of building or renovating a state building is spent on art for that building, which has resulted in a rich […]
ART LAUNDRY
It all began when Carolyn thought we might want to collaborate on an installation in her “home” gallery Lost Coast Culture Machine, in Fort Bragg, California. She then admitted a deep-seated need to iron in public, and “Art Laundry” was born…with the support of gallery owners Anne Beck and Dietmar Krumrey. We visited the gallery […]
Autumn or Fall?
Apparently, even though some of us are still in a summer mood, FALL IS HERE. How do I know??? Suddenly bins of things are at the store… and if I thought those were just SUMMER punkins, there are other clues… uh oh…and then something catches my eye and it isn’t fresh berries and butter lettuce… […]
