This is the mini quilt I was giving away in celebration for joining the gallery. The winner is: Vickie. Sorry it’s taken me so long to announce a winner, poor Dexter kitty wasn’t doing great – still not eating. The blood work found a GI issue. Dexter now gets weekly vitamin injections and pills at […]
Quilts Complete and In Progress
My friends sent me a picture of their wedding gift in use. It looks great in their room. I pieced a quilt top to while away my worry. I played with a layer cake of Sweetwater Road 15 collection.
What I’ve Been Doing – Dexter
The majority of the past week has been filled with worry. Dexter had been losing weight very quickly and not eating. For years one of the vets in our clinic has been telling us Dexter needed his teeth removed (all of them). We had his teeth cleaned once before and it was very rough on […]
What I’ve Been Doing – Charity Quilts
I volunteered my local modern quilt guild to help an agency complete some quilts. We were given 120 blocks hand-painted by children. The blocks were not uniform in size and the painting was a bit thick in places. Luckily the kids had been given fabric paints donated by a local quilt shop. I separated the […]
What I’ve Been Doing – Gallery
My art quilts are on display at the Girdwood Center for Visual Arts. I was juried into and joined this wonderful co-op gallery. Over 30 artists display their work and we all volunteer our time to staff the gallery. To celebrate, I’m giving away a mini creative girl art quilt and fabric scraps. Leave me […]

Summer Vacation Part 3
The final part of our summer vacation started in Anchorage. We visited the Glen Alps Trailhead as the rain and clouds started to clear to see the beautiful view, the city and inlet in one direction and mountains in the other. The next day we ventured north to Eklutna Lake for some light hiking and […]
Found Art
I cleaned out/reorganized my flat files and found art I had forgot making. This is a fused fabric and paper collage embellished with stitching and buttons. I usually add these pieces to a journal or frame them for my walls. I’m still deciding the fate of this one. Any ideas?
Batik Patchwork
I gathered most of my batiks together and randomly started piecing them into a patchwork top. They look better when in a quilt together. I used muslin dyed peach for the backing. It will be donated to charity to spread its cheer with someone in need.
Comma Quilt
I would not have normally used orange and gold with the green and gray but the Comma collection by Zen Chic has text fabrics I wanted to play with. The backing has pink and browns that coordinate so well with the gray, gold, orange and green.
