“Captured Marbles” in Progress
I’m working on the quilting for “Captured Marbles” from my 30 art quilts in 30 days project and couldn’t wait to show it! This is a variation on the pebbling motif that I like so much, but it has more of a feather feel to it. Plus it’s a little quicker to stitch than pebbling–a…

“Around the Block”
Wow, I didn’t realize I’d been AWOL from the blog for so long! I’ve been working almost nonstop getting my eight pieces ready for my next show in July. Here’s a peak at “Around the Block” after the quilting lines have been added to create interesting texture. I decided to use a single motif on…

“Walk in the Park” is Day 30–the Project is Finished!
I did it! “Walk in the Park” is Day 30 of my 30 art quilts for the month of March project. When I started this project back on March 1, I must admit I wasn’t completely sure whether I’d be able to do it all in one month. Life got in the way and I…
“Townhouses” is Day 29 – Almost Finished!
Well–it’s March 31 and “Townhouses” is the next to last top in my 30 art quilts for the month of March project! I have one more top to make today and then the project will be finished. I’m quite proud of this accomplishment! This piece went through several incarnations–I originally thought I would make separate…
“Assorted Marbles” is Day 28
“Assorted Marbles” is Day 28 of my art quilt a day for the month of March project. I’m really looking forward to seeing all of the Marbles pieces hung together! There’s a great deal of unity in the simplicity of the designs and the strong colors–I think they work as a series best of the…
