I was feeling scrappy last weekend. Literally and figuratively. There are two meanings to scrappy and I qualified for both. “Made up of scraps or of odds and ends; fragmented: disconnected.” “Fond of fighting, arguing, or competing.” These are the days I’m not fit for human companionship. I put myself in time-out and […]

Some of you may remember my old friend, The Amish Cowgirl Well, I said goodbye to her Saturday. It’s hard to say goodbye when you’ve been friends for so long. She was my first vintage quilt. I sold her to someone who really wanted and appreciated her and will cherish her in her home. […]

Our Lady of Guadalupe. My process for my art is this ……. I don’t really have one. I find unusual, quirky fabrics that appeal to me. Then I lay them out in my studio and look at them for awhile. (a year) Then one day they speak to me. They say something like this …… […]

I have a treasure chest in a Justin Boot Box. Last year I bought a whole box full of vintage quilt blocks for about $40. This is only about 1/10th of what’s in there. I would never tackle a project like these blocks even with modern fabrics. It’s much too tedious for me. But there […]

I posted about this quilt a few months ago. At the time I thought it was the ugliest quilt ever made. As it turns out, it is the most favorite one I’ve ever made. I went on an Artist’s Retreat to Santa Fe in November, having just finished the top. I showed the blog […]
