Facets of Fiber, a Surface Design Association Exhibition, opened this week at the John Jellico Gallery of the Art Institute of Colorado in Denver.

I usually let it “dry” for 24 hours before removing it from the [...]

I am proud to be showing a quilt in Form Not Function 2012: Quilt Art at the Carnegie, which opens on January 6 and runs through March 3, 2012. (www.carnegiecenter.org)
The quilt is part of my Autumnal Equinox series #3 Before The Frost.
