The Quilters’ Guild Collection

The latest issue of American Quilter magazine features one of my articles on the Quilt Museum and Gallery in York, England on page 52. I visited the museum during my 2015 Food and Fiber Lovers’ Trip through Kathy Brassill of Handcrafted Holidays. Unfortunately, the museum closed not long thereafter as it couldn’t sustain financial viability. […]

My Quilt on a Tote Bag

I never expected to see one of my quilts on a tote bag, but this past weekend at the Stitches in Bloom show at The Oregon Garden two women came into our special exhibit with just that. My colleague, Jeri Oswalt, recognized the quilt on their show tote bags as one of mine. I was […]

Design Time

One of the things I did for the Stitches in Bloom Show at The Oregon Garden was bring a variety of design boards, embellishments, and stitch samples I had completed during my London City and Guilds study for display. I wasn’t sure how the space in the room would be set up, but I wanted […]

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Diana Cleland-Boyle created a quilt based on this well-known fairy tale. She titled it, “Who is Fairest of Them All?” Diana writes, “It is obvious in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the vanity of the queen and the innocent beauty of Snow White are in conflict. The mirror plays the pivotal role in the […]

We had a fabulous response to our STiTCH exhibit at the Stitches in Bloom Quilt Show at The Oregon Garden this past weekend.

I’m in the midst of packing artwork and personal items for the Stitches in Bloom quilt show at The Oregon Garden. I leave tomorrow morning to hang and set up my work and the exhibit of my exhibition group STiTCH. I’ve been working toward this since last February when I was asked to be the […]

Z is for Zinnia, C is for Cosmos Photography

I had my latest piece photographed by Kayley Hoddick on Monday. She took many detail shots, too many to include here, but I’ve posted the full image and eight details to show the hand embroidery I did to enhance the flowers and leaves. I also hand-twisted cords for stems on some of the small zinnias. […]

Aladdin and the Magic Lamp

Sally Zehrung created the quilt based on this fairy tale well known to Americans. She writes, “The title is Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.

“Z” is for Zinnias, “C” is for Cosmos

Touchdown! I finished my exhibition piece for the Stitches in Bloom show in Silverton which takes place the third week of this month. What a relief. It always fascinates me how you can work so hard on a quilt or anything, and by the time you finish, it feels as if it should be something […]
