More of my best art


Grandson Leo, 17 months. He is adorable, happy, and loving as well as lovable. He loves watching "Peppa Pig" on his Daddy's computer - doesn't talk much but does a really good "oink"!

Not Your Baker's Yeast


Felice Frankel's macro photogra-
phy of yeast colonies magnified many times inspired this quilt. The filamented circles, although pretty, are invasive colonies and can cause disease.

Not Your Baker's Yeast - detail


This quilt is made with cotton, silks, velvets, cheese-
cloth, and decorative wools, ribbons and threads. Machine pieced and appliqued, machine and hand quilted

New Metals

These four little quilts are mounted on 8 x 10 painted canvases. They are for sale at The Commons Gallery in Eastport, Maine. Painting the canvas was quite a challenge - I must have painted 10 different layers before I got an acceptable look.

Metal I


All four quilts use paper, fabric, wool or ribbon edging and some kind of metal. This quilt uses copper mesh, beads and hand stitching with linen thread.

Balloon 11/28/08


Here are 12 more little squares from my Illustration Friday efforts for 2008. There were three words not expressed, but I still plan to do them. And what am I going to do with fifty-two 3 3/4" pieces? A future post will give you a clue! However, for now - up, up and away seems like a good finishing touch.

Opinion 11/21/08


Two sides to every story.

Wise 11/17/08


Mulberry paper, hand dyed fabric, suede, and decorative threads and wools.

Vacant 10/31/08


Fabric, paper, hand dyed cheese cloth, machine and hand stitching. I worked on the word "va- cant" when the whole foreclosure debacle was starting.

Repair 10/24/08


Paper and buttons and wire and part of an old vest and linen thread, oh my.

Late 10/17/08


This is a reuse of part of a necklace from Kenya and is one of my favorite little pieces.
