Grasses and machine thread sketching
I continue to be surprised how some quilts sell and others don’t. Truth be told, I’m often happy if they don’t sell right away because I can enjoy them in my home for awhile. This quilt became a favorite as soon as it was finished. It isn’t flashy or colorful but it is a bit

A year with fewer arts festivals
I took a year off from doing festival shows in 2017 except for a few very local, one day events. This was due to a variety of things from the physical activity required for packing, set up and tear down along with the unpredictability of selling, often influenced by the weather. I think if I
