This is my most recent quilt, made especially for my dear friends Dan and Betsy.
This piece is made almost entirely from recycled, found or gifted fabrics- a shirt from Dan, fabric from a book binding project of Betsy’s, her Grandfather’s shirt, a pair of my pants.

The month of June is almost over and this has been the craziest month! I have only been home in Savannah for 2 weeks this month and am reeling in disorientation. It is fun to be away, but also so hard for me to keep up with everything and not be home. It is sort [...]

When I first moved to Savannah, more than 2 years ago, I made myself a little computer quilt to protect my precious computer from getting too banged up in a bag with other things. Since then I have made myself and a few friends variations on the theme. They are fun to make and I [...]

Last week, the mini quilt I made was a reaction to a particularly home-sick moment. As much as I love living in Savannah, my heart is still out West where there are wide-open spaces and the sky is big. When I get this way, I head to the beach because there I can feel that [...]

This week has been a crazy week for me- we had the Fibers Department Open Studio on Friday night (great success!)- and I did find a little time today to make my mini-quilt. This one, made of linen and silk dupioni, is a lot simpler than last week. Surprise, surprise with the little time. . [...]

What I have been making the last couple weeks have been projects for my hands. I am still adjusting to working during the day and most evenings I come home with my head feeling rather mushy. Trying to keep up my studio practice?? how is that going to work?? I can say that I am [...]
