My friend Kristin had some kaleidoscope blocks started and was cleaning out her sewing room as she moved. I claimed the blocks thinking I would make a quilt for her. There were many 5†matching squares that I used along with some of the extra triangles to make a patchwork back. I have another quilt […]
Bee Quilt
Six members in the Anchorage Modern Quilt Guild decided to do a bee in which each us picked a 12†block pattern and the others made her 2 blocks. I chose log cabin blocks with bright solid center, and logs of neutral except for 1 print. I made a few more blocks and added a […]

Productive Patchwork

Straight light stitching, ironing and cutting to create giant patchwork blocks (45†each) is much more therapeutic than a cookie. I finally let myself cut into the many fat quarters I had long ago […]
Final Journal
This is the final journal cover I chose to submit for the Global Talent Search. It’s so happy and me! I also designed a new logo that I used when I submitted my piece.
Journal Ideas
With the addition of doodles and words, I created several versions of a journal cover with my paper girl images. The journal ‘assignment’ is for the Lilla Roger’s Global Talent Search. The Make Art That Sells course and Global Talent Search have challenged me. I’ve enjoyed the process of creating; deciding on only 1 to […]
Paper Girls
I’ve been working in Photoshop more and needed to start with some cute art. I fused paper to WonderUnder and did my usual thing with paper. Instead of stitching, I used a pen. They are very cute. I learned that trying a new girl pattern in paper is a bit faster than creating an art […]
