Getting ready...

I've been invited to exhibit my art quilts and dolls in a special exhibit at the Marco Island Center for the Arts.  The artist reception is set for October 11 from 5:30-7:00PM.  I'll also speak about my work at the art center on October 20 at 5:30PM.


Getting the quilts and dolls ready to deliver to the art center.  I always think it will take no time to get ready - not so!  Making sure the quilts are in perfect condition, hanging slats for each one; dolls need to be wrapped and boxed up....takes time and organization!

Small Works...

I recently learned that my artwork "When Will the Terror End?" was accepted into the Foothills Art Center "2016 The Engaged Object" exhibition in Golden, CO.  Only 27 works from the 212 submitted were accepted.  I'm thrilled to be one of the selected artists.

I was asked to submit some work for the gallery gift shop.  These small works were created as a result of my love of fiber art and mixed media.

A Great Pair of Legs...

If you were to walk into my studio today, this is what you would find.  I'm working on a series of dolls for The Artist's Gallery on Marco Island.

Texas Quilt Museum

I've never been lucky enough to visit the Texas Quilt Museum in person.  I'm happy to have two of my quilts on display there now.  The museum looks glorious!

Gallery III: SAQA: People & Portraits

 This exhibit celebrates the expressiveness of the human face in 40 stunning quilts created by members of the international organization Studio Art Quilt Associates. The diverse designs focus on a variety of emotional states and the ways in which people interact. The invitational exhibit is based on the book Art Quilt Portfolio: People and Portraits by Martha Sielman. Curated by Pat Kumicich.

(It is difficult to see my work in these photos)

"Should I?" is hanging on the balcony -  on the far right in this view.

Packing Up/Shipping Out

As an exhibiting artist, I spend a lot of time preparing my work for shipment to various venues throughout the United States and Europe.  It takes a lot of time and paperwork too.  I'm not complaining - I am grateful for the exhibition opportunities.

Three works going out this week.  How are you spending the last hours of 2013?



HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Small Quilt Made From Left Overs...

Beginning this fall, there is to be a three year tour of the featured SAQA artists in Lark Publications new book "Art Quilt Portfolio People and Portraits."  A binder filled with sample quilts will help the viewer understand the artists' process and also have an opportunity to touch the sample quilts.  (Touching the exhibition quilts is a no-no!)

This sweet little piece was made from leftovers.  I keep a basket of scraps under my sewing table.

My process:

1.  Draw simple face; transfer to fusible web
2.  Iron fusible web to selected fabrics
3.  Cut out pieces


4.  Assemble pieces
5.  Iron to background
6.  Stitch appliqué; free motion quilting


7.  Make binding
8.  Stitch on binding
9.  Embellish


Finished sample quilt

Exhibit at the Mattie Kelly Gallery...

It was a 10 hour drive from Naples to Niceville, FL.  As soon as we got onto Interstate 10, it started to rain.  (Why does it always rain when I'm the one driving?!)  The temperature had dropped to the 50s - we were totally unprepared for that.  As soon as we arrived in Niceville, we found the local Wal-Mart so Richard could buy a jacket.



 We headed toward the beach on Saturday morning.  We were blessed with a blue sky and plenty of cool gusty winds.  Not flattering to one's hair style...



We're in town for the opening of my solo exhibit at the Mattie Kelly Gallery.  The opening reception is Sunday afternoon at 2PM in the Holzhauer Gallery, Northwest Florida State College, 100 College Blvd., Niceville, FL  The exhibit runs April 21 - May 31, 2013.
