It's so pretty! #artquilt #quiltsky

Speed Sewing ASMR? 🤣 The shop isn't open yet but I'm already taking advantage of the natural lighting to get updated pics. #quiltsky #artquilt

Close-up of a sewing machine in action, stitching over a detailed line drawing on fabric. The needle is mid-stitch inside a clear presser foot with a red guide, hovering over an intricate, swirling design that looks like layered petals or abstract shapes. Faint pink sketch lines show the original plan underneath the darker stitched lines. A blue grip glove rests nearby, steadying the fabric.

Getting some stitching in this morning before work. #quilting #sewing #artwip #artquilt

Pieced and quilted abstract fiber art with the sun rising from the nearby land into the many blues of the sky. #original #art

I decided to begin a new series of quilts exploring sunrise which I am calling "variation on dawn". What do you think? This one is 18 by 40 inches. #artquilt #quilt #pieced #makermade #abstracttextile #fiberart

Ladybug art quilt

5 big art quilts in progress

One is done (ish). Because it already had legs. I found the canvases I mount these on too. Good news; I will never run out of those. #artquilt #bugs

The snow melted but it's still cold so I'm just going to keep sewing. 🤣 #quiltsky #artquilt

5 bugs on art quilts

5 bugs quilted, ready for legs. Or something. #artquilt #bugs

I spend a lot of time trying to visualize my next quilt--but then I just have to take a deep breath and start. Does this happen to you? #workinprogress #piecing #artquilt #series #quilt

Just received the latest issue of Uppercase magazine @uppercasemag and am thrilled to have one of my pieces in the Texture article! It’s my “Lake Paupac Cardinal” quilt.

And it's done. My latest quilt which I call "always the morning". What do you think? #artquilt #pieced #original #art #dawn

Deciding how to finish all the bugs I ironed in Virginia last week. #artquilt #bugs

A hand traces intricate quilt designs onto glowing fabric on a lightbox, layering pink lines over blue sketch patterns in a careful, detailed process.

Tbh, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to quilt this. 😅 I want a Tiffany stained glass look but I don't want to blow up the drawing so large that it's difficult to wrestle through my machine. #quilting #artquilt #artsky #fiberart #artwip

“There is so much stubborn hope in the human heart.” Funky stitching on old quilt piece.

Spring is the hopeful season. We plant seeds, birds have babies, and we find a way to renew in 1000 ways.
I wish that for us all.

Great artist talks today @vaquiltmuseum from @artextilena, Holly Cole, and myself (IDK what I said). I missed the march, but my art speaks too. Thanks to those who did the work today and hope for all of us in the future. #artquilt #politics

Sometimes we just need to remember the power of a bright blue sky. (A pun that wasn't even intended--oh well). #tabledecor #artquilt #artdecor #quilt #etsy
