On my circle loom tonight. I was asked where I found a circle loom—it’s just a round knitting loom warped in a circle. You can do it with embroidery hoops too…good tutorials on YouTube. I figured out a way to add really short threads…like 3 to 5 inches. Being able to add so many different shades of green and blue …
Drawing in Pocket Procreate on my flight home…turbulent, so I only used dots. Fun and somehow echoes all the spectacles of New York City.
Considering my woven circles from Spring 2023…the first few were worked on small embroidery hoops, then I found larger knitting looms. I can really see my progress, as I didn’t initially understand how to finish the warp threads to capture all the woven strands. They are interesting as a group – I can see how a whole bunch of them …
Summer 2020 – all over the planet, people are looking for ways to entertain themselves at home. In my quest to stay home and stay safe, our little-used outside balcony beckoned. I have a folding camp table and a couple outdoor chairs – maybe I could make a little outdoor art studio. My sister had given me a set of …
I like making quilts. I really like helping other people discover the joy of quilting. My niece, Kimberly, has been a frequent collaborator—the two of us have spent countless hours together in my studio, cutting, pressing and sewing our way to a new quilt. My latest baby quilt is for Kimmy, as she and her husband Steve, just welcomed their …

Button, button, who’s got the button? (Yes I am old enough to have actually played that game.) I’ve been collecting buttons for years. More than a few old button tins have found their way into my hands, and I’ve always enjoyed sorting through them and looking for treasures, and buttons that match. Rarely, I will find vintage buttons the way …

When in Vegas, I never miss a chance to visit the Bellagio resort, as I can always count on a feast for the eyes. This floral arrangement caught me eye, and has been a great source for creating color palettes: Purple and orange seem like unlikely friends at first. Many years ago, my husband and I purchased a new condo, …
When does a series become an obsession? I have discovered the symmetry tools available in Procreate for the iPad, and can’t quit playing with them! This “drawing assist” repeats the line as you draw, allowing you to immediately see the shapes and patterns formed by the symmetrical option chosen. Most of these were drawn using radial symmetry, though a few …
