The Dundee Victoria & Albert Museum

On one of our last days during our UK trip, we went to the new Victoria and Albert Museum in Dundee, Scotland’s first design museum. The building, which evokes a ship,  pays tribute to its surroundings. It sits on the waterfront and looks as if it is floating with the River Tay as the backdrop,. […]

Gillian Cooper–Quilter, Writer, Tutor

A favorite studio artist visit was with Gillian Cooper who lives in Stirlingshire, Scotland. As she is a fellow London City and Guilds graduate, I was particularly interested to see her work. She didn’t have titles posted, but her work speaks for itself! I like the hand stitching in this artwork and the way it […]

Counted Thread in Kuwait

I’m thrilled to say I’ve been asked to judge and teach next April for the Kuwait Textile Arts Association in, where else, Kuwait.

Columbia River Gorge Quilters Show

I’m working my way back through a number of activities. Too many coming, one after another. This was three weeks ago–mid-October. I’ve judged for this quilt guild several times, located in Hood River. From Portland, it’s a little over a lovely hour’s drive through the gorge. I found the guild was particularly strong in art […]

Hallelujah! I’m done

In one month I completed the fourth and final Santa stocking created from vintage kits from the 1980s. My goal was to have them done so I could present the three going to my two junior nephews and niece on Thanksgiving so they can hang them for the holidays. This one is for the younger […]
