Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog!

October is a busy month for me. I installed my solo exhibit, “Playing with Colors,” in the Great Falls Library Meeting Room on Oct. 1.  It will be up all month, until Oct. 31.

On Sunday, Oct. 5, I’ll be participating in the McLean Project for the Arts artFest in McLean Central Park. There will be 40 different artists, including painters, potter and jewelers, so if you’re in the area, please stop by and say hello! I’m in tent #16 and the artfest runs from 10-5.

Two weeks later is the Great Falls Studios Fifth Annual Studio Tour and it promises to be the best yet! The Tour is Saturday, Oct. 18 and Sunday, Oct. 19 from 10-5 both days. I’ll be in the Great Falls library with my exhibit, doing demonstrations of machine quilting and talking about my design process. Plus I’ll be joined by four very talented artists: Ronni Jolles, who creates wonderful pieces with layered paper and pastels; Claudia Samper, who paints evocative portraits and still lifes; Linda Rosen, who designs original jewelry; and Bill Garrett, an incredible photographer.

The Studio Tour is a lot of fun and great opportunity to see artists where they work–there are 38 artists in all on the tour this year, so there’s plenty to see and do! I hope to see you there.
