I started with very few table runners left but I have been working hard to give customers a selection. Which would you choose? #soldonetsy #tabledecor #quiltsky #accbaltimore #etsy

Thanks so much to the American Craft Show in Baltimore for another wonderful fair--it was almost like the old days--seeing old friends, making new connections and enjoying community. #craftcouncil #accbaltimore #artquilts #makermade #quiltsky #februArty

I have heard that the human eye is most sensitive to all the different shades of green--which does make sense if you think about it. Here is my quilt "always September" which uses many different faded and yellowed shades of green. #januArty #green #artquilt #quilt

I don't do a lot of quilts in monochrome so I hope this one works. I called it "the expanse of the sea". 40 by 40 inches. What do you think? #Februarty #monochrome #thesea #artyear #womensartbluesky #quilt #quiltsky

A pieced landscape I created by sewing many thin strips of cotton fabric together to create a scene with the soft greys and tans of the ocean meeting the distant horizon. An original art quilt. #textileart #landscape #originalquilt #improv #accbaltimore #etsyseller

It may be chilly and snowy outside, but I just finished my quilt "the memory of spring". What do you think? It is 17.5 by 60 inches, machine pieced and quilted in my own variation of quilt as you go. An original design. #craftcouncil #FebruArty #artsky #women'sart #fiberart #landscape #artquilt

The memory of spring is an original art quilt that captures sunrise over the greening landscape. It is created by the artist one strip at a time and then machine quilted. #quiltsky #landscape #springart #paradisecityartsfestival

As the very long month of January is coming to an end, I finished my quilt "fresh spring". Yes--together there is hope. My encouraging thought for the day. #artquilt #quiltsky #art #januArty

Original art quilt pieced of many fabrics showing the sun rising against a sky of blues, pinks and yellow over a green horizon. Nearby the landscape echoes many soft shades of blue. Modern art quilt. It is 31 by 60 inches. #improv #craftcouncil #accbaltimore #paradisecityartsfestival

Detail of quilt showing the many different fabrics used to create it--all quilting cottons.

Another winter storm--snow, ice and lots of wind. But who am I to grumble? Instead I am dreaming of spring. I just listed this quilt which I call "fresh spring" on my Etsy shop. What do you think? #etsy #artquilt #februArty #landscape #artistmade
