Just In Time - Holiday Open Studio

I have been having a great time stitching this week and it's exciting to be able to share the four finished red boxes with you here...
but, it would be even more fun to see them in person.

So, these will be among the many new pieces
that will be displayed during my Holiday Open Studio!
The dates are set--
December 10th thru the 12th
Noon 'til 4pm each day
Signal Hill, California

for directions - send me an email using the contact page on my website

Hope to see many of you there!

p.s. We had such a great time last year making Gratitude Postcards and being part of the Global Gratitude Postcard Project that I'm setting everything up to do it again!

After -Open Studio

A big thank you to everyone that came by my open studio last weekend.

I had a great time chatting with everyone and loved making the gratitude postcards. For those of you that came and those that didn't get a chance to there I'm posting several pictures of the postcards along with the person who made them. Total there were probably about 20 postcards that are now winding their way to the many folks we all want to say thank you to.

Quilts & Open Studio

This week has been crazy busy. I have been working on all sorts of fun things for my upcoming Open Studio. Not only will there be fun art to see, food & drinks to enjoy, but a fun way to show someone how much you appreciate them... How? Well, I always love to have a little hands on project during my open studio and this year we'll be creating postcards... OK, why a postcard?

Thru my recent Twitter-rompings I befriended a woman in Ireland-Roisin is the creator of an event called The Global Gratitude Postcard Project. You can read about by clicking on the project title, and you can be part of it by making a postcard at my open studio! We'll make them, snap a photo and give you a stamp so you can send your words of gratitude out there into the world!

The other part of the crazy-busy's this week for me have been working on two large pieces. One is a commission piece, and I am happy to say that it is done... the last of the bead were added, binding stitched just in time to have it's picture taken to show you all here. The second of the larger pieces is being made for a Kaufman Fabric invitational. Right now this quilt has been couched and machine quilted and is awaiting stitching and beading. Beading in this instance may not really cover it, for I'll be creating some specialized leaves from air-dry clay that will be stitched in place as well, BUT that is for another day!

I hope you enjoy seeing the quilts done & in progress, and if you're around I hope you stop by for my Open Studio next weekend. Dec 11-13.

See you soon!
