More From Circular Abstractions

Today I thought I'd share a few pictures of quilts and artists. First is Valerie Maser-Flanagan with her two quilts, Growth Rings #1 and #2. I love the shading in these pieces. Next is Patricia Altenburg's piece, City Lights #1. I love the way her shapes are breaking out of the circle. Wendy Hook with her quilt, Piet and Repeat. Carol Hazen had two pieces in the show. This is Danger-Wrong Way. Very cool. Patricia Guthrie also had two pieces in the show. This is Rolling Color. I love her palette. Maren Johnston came all of the way from California for the opening. This is her piece, Emergence. This is Marina Baudoin with her piece Twister. I loved these two pieces by Kathy Anso. The first is In Loving Memory. This one is Ministry of Silly Walks. Being an old Monty Python fan, I loved this for the title as well as the piece itself. It DOES look like John Cleese doing his silly walk. ...

I’ve moved to Massachusetts!

Brian retired last December, so it was time for a new adventure. Massachusetts, here we come! We inherited B’s family’s summer cottage on Cape Cod. We’ve spent many wonderful vacations there over the years. It was very small (832 sq ft), so we decided to renovate and expand it. We added a second story and a kitchen extension. Construction started 2 years ago and finished in August. We sold our Texas house (in 6 days!) and moved to Eastham just before Thanksgiving. It’s a traditional Cape Cod house. There are still lots of boxes to unpack, but we’ve made a good start. The living areas first (baths, kitchen, living room): And of course, my studio! And, finally, a glimpse of my supplies and fabric stash area: A bit of a mess… I have been trying to think of how I can better organize it. Suggestions are welcome! But for now, it’s on to the next box. Who knows what treasures we’ll discover.

Improv Patchwork Blog Hop: a Review and a Chance to Win a Copy!

Maria's New Book -- It's FABULOUS! I remember walking into a class at the Crow Timber Frame Barn seven years ago. It was an intermediate class with the famous Nancy Crow, and I was very much a beginning art quilter. The class was filled with students who were far more advanced than I was, and I was thoroughly intimidated. Everyone around me was cutting, sewing and pressing at lightening speed. I was literally too scared to move. Luckily there was Maria Shell , sitting across the room. She was one of the advanced students, and she took pity on me. She patted me on the back and encouraged me to leap in and get to work. She convinced me that I could do it. And that class turned out to be one of the most exciting classes I’ve ever taken. I’ve never looked back. As Maria says in her new book, “A quitter rarely succeeds, and a finisher almost always ends up with something.” And thanks to her, I did. Maria does many things well. ...
