more work in progress

work in progress

Today I am posting images of the art I am presently working on. Juggling 3 to 4 pieces at various stages is the norm, a process I found works for me since my work schedule limits the amount of time I can devote to my art. And I do like this approach, it is a totally loglical use of my small studio space, adds the desired continuity to a series and allows more time to edit as I move from one piece to the other without stopping work completely.

Web feet for the season

Waterlogged!!!!!
Here in the DC metro area we have endured a wet spring with probably 15 inches of rain since May 1. What is usually a very pleasant season, Spring passed by in a humid haze of moisture with every dry, sunny day treated a as a treasure, a gift from the gods.

This past Sunday was one of those days, clear blue sky after days of storms and rain. I was just preparing to leave for work and I noticed odd sounds coming from outside. My husband, Rodger had already started investigating, leaving the house out to the driveway. A large oak had just fallen. In the news I hear of trees falling over all year/all seasons in this area and in our neighborhood, I just had not seen the mess.

In this case, luckily no one was hurt and the power was restored, up and running later that day and short of some repairs yet to be completed on the lines, the debris has be taken away. And the neighbors living in that white house, away during those 2 days and missed it all (tree just missed their parked cars). Enclosed- tree down photos, this is what it looked liked. I like the double cherry pick.

Keep dry!

1st day

Greetings from Bethesda,

In an effort to update, stay updated and in general, keep in touch, I started this blog. I will make an effort to stay current, post old and new art work and promise to answer if you request a reply. [Bear in mind I truely hate to type and prefer working in my studio to sitting at the computer!]

That being said, I am already more than two weeks behind on this 1st post!

Quilt National '09 opened at the Dairy Barn Art Center in Athens, OH on Fri. May 22, 2009. I was able to attend the opening in the company of my husband, Rodger and a special treat, my parents. They drove from Cincinnati, OH to joined us for the opening and banquet and while my father was less thwn amused after his look at the art my mother had great fun collecting signatures from the artist in her QN'09 catalog. This was the first QN exhibition for all three and I believe they enjoyed the experience.

This is the 16th biennial, interntional, juried exhibition which started 30 years in 1979 with its first group of art quilts. Juried by Sue Benner, Katie Pasquini Masopust and Ned Wert 85 works were selected. [visit www.quiltnational.com for more info]

I received a Juror's Award of Merit for my piece BLUE BAMBOO/BLUE BREEZE
