Back in 2017 I decided to create a wearable art piece based on the word housecoat that had been running through my brain for quite some time. It was a fun project to design and create and after the coat was displayed in a few shows I retired it and it lives on a dress … Continue reading
So it’s been a long time since I last posted here – almost 9 months actually – but the thing about a blog is that it waits for you. Even after a long 8 months I can pretty much pick up from where I left off and start a new post so that’s what I’m … Continue reading
I haven’t done much, really any, work with textiles over the last 6 months. Once I finished my house plants quilt my desire to work on anything whimsical dried up and I just wasn’t interested in doing anything but working on my photography. My textile work is very whimsical and quite frankly with all that’s … Continue reading

I finally finished this latest quilt in my black and white series: It took me forever to stitch over all those black lines! I am glad to have this one done and it’s the last buildings themed quilt that I will be making for the time being and I will get to why in a … Continue reading
Last month I wrote about being juried into the League of New Hampshire Craftsman and I can’t say enough good things about this organization. I’ve been a member for less than 8 weeks and I already have work in four of their gallery locations (Littleton, Sandwich, Hanover and Nashua) – I just dropped these four … Continue reading
I recently got juried into the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and with that came an opportunity to have my work represented in their eight locations across New Hampshire and a solo exhibit this summer at the Eversource corporate headquarters in Manchester (more on this as soon as I have confirmed the dates). I’ve been … Continue reading
