Not the kind about breast cancer, but the kind designating Judges' Choice! I was delighted when Pepper Cory awarded my quilt, Ripening, her Judge's Choice at the recent World Quilt Show - Florida. Her comment was "I'd love to take this quilt home with me." What an honor! See all the winners here.

This class is the most popular one I teach, and it's no wonder. Students start with a beautiful piece of hand dyed fabric and end up with their own unique quilt. The results are always fabulous! Your opportunity to join in the fun starts on January 22, 2010.

Full class details here. Class starts January 22, 2010! (This is a small class, so it tends to fill quickly.)

As always, I'm having lots of fun teaching my current class, Sticky Fingers (glued collage.) As part of that, I've made a sample, at left,demonstrating different options with color and design.

I need a name for it, though. It looks rather celebratory to me. Maybe Tropical Celebration?

In the spring of 2010, Lark Books will have a new book come out: 500 Art Quilts. I'm delighted that three of my quilts will be included in this publication! How exciting!

The three pieces selected are Reconcilation,
Ti Plants A-Glow-Glow, and Out of the Blue. I can't wait to get my copy!!!

There are several other new things on the website and blog. Be sure to check the sidebar on the right for the latest updates.
