Just Hanging Around...

working on hands today...these will need some sanding and additional shaping...

What's New...

I'm happy to say that the quilt I've been working on for ages is now complete!  However, I cannot show it here in it's entirety because it is to be part of an invitational traveling exhibit “Deeds Not Words”: The Power of Persistence, Celebrating 100 Years of Women's Suffrage. It is being organized by a curatorial group consisting of curators and directors of U.S. quilt museums, and will premier at the National Quilt Museum during Quilt Week in 2020.  It's very exciting and I'm thrilled to be a part of the exhibit.  There will also be a book!!

I just had to create something new now that the quilt is done.  I've had a doll in mind and started on it yesterday...this is going to take a while...my hands are so sore from all the stitching I'm having some trouble shaping the clay - I will persevere!

Give Her a Hand!

Beginning the quilting process - I spent too much at the machine today.  My hands are actually numb!

Applique...

Pinning applique down on the quilt top is a pain - I'm constantly stabbing myself and breaking nails!

Oh my stars!

It's been ages since I've posted.  The holidays were so much fun - but left little time for art.  I've been working on a new piece.  It's hush, hush at the moment...what will it be?

Promise fulfilled...

I walked into the studio this morning and to my surprise the Christmas cactus had burst into full bloom - it surely survives on neglect!
