When you are around her, your lungs get a real workout. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday we are going to PLAY, PLAY, PLAY [...]
Sometimes Love Hurts
Sometimes, love hurts. We might even question if exposing ourselves to love is worth the potential pain. But love is not just a surface emotion: it embodies a wide spectrum of feelings. So wide, that poets, writers, artists, saviours, politicians, advertisers and countless others have tried to define and describe it through the ages. Various holy writings [...]
Photo Issues with Firefox
A lot of my Flickr photos are not showing up on my site. I went online and realized this is a Firefox issue, NOT a Flickr problem. The photos ALL show up when I use Safari. If you are using Firefox, I apologize for any blanks may be seeing. Do you have any image issues? How [...]
A Playful Self Portrait
As a matter of principle (oh my, doesn’t that sound high-falutin’), I do not take part in chain letters, except to break them. But a chain art exchange? That’s a different story. Why? Because Dayna Collins asked me, that’s why, the art facilitator extraordinaire. Just spend some time on her blog and count the number of ways [...]

Hey everyone, see my first video!
I wrote the article Cracked Paper Quilts for Quilting Arts, issue 39. I have just made a video (my first!) which shows how I piece and appliqué the top for a paper quilt.
Hopefully this will be useful to readers of the article.
Carpe diem!

I Created a Cracked Paper Quilt Book
I had plans to launch a book making workshop, but I have been asked to submit it to a magazine and therefore must keep it on hold for a while.
I still envision publishing a book about making these books, so stay tuned! I want YOU as part of this excitement, and possibly as part of the "gallery" in the book (or e-book). I have a… Continue

I am an artist . . . . period.
Her work reminded me of something that I keep having to tell myself: I can do more than one thing!
I have this terrible tendency to want to be able to explain my work succinctly--I am a paper quilt artist, I make art quilts, I do mixed media, I paint… Continue

Feather Keeper

I needed a place to put the feathers that I’m always collecting, especially now that my beautiful Silver Laced Wyandotte and Plymouth Barred Rock hens are molting. Then there’s the Canadian geese, egret and various assorted other bird feathers. So, armed w… Continue
