Sometimes we need a moment of calm. That is why I made these quilted mats in soft teal. What do you think? #tablemats #soldonetsy #makermade #craftcouncil

My first quilt of the new year with the golden sun rising from the dark horizon into the many colors of the grey sky. #modern #contemporary #art #original

Gradually I am trying to switch my color palette from the rich warms of winter to the fresh colors of spring. Do you also do this? #tabledecor #quiltstudio #springcolors #makermade #quiltedmats #soldonetsy #etsy

My response to Panetone's "Color" of the year. I called this quilt "summer comes to the hills". I am sure if I searched hard enough I could find a bit of "Cloud Dance" in it--but only a bit. #artquilt #color #abstracttextile #coloroftheyear #Panetone
Abstract art quilt with the bright color of the sky rising fro yellow through orange and red into the deep blues of summer. The distant hills are a dark verdant geen. #art #originalart #pieced #shelburnefalls #paradisecityartsfestival #craftcouncil

After set up for the Baltimore Craft Show, we took an art break to the Baltimore Museum of Art where they had one of Robert Motherwell's "Elegy for the Spanish Republic" on display. What a powerful piece and a powerful reminder. #art #craftcouncil #quilt

It may be chilly and snowy outside, but I just finished my quilt "the memory of spring". What do you think? It is 17.5 by 60 inches, machine pieced and quilted in my own variation of quilt as you go. An original design. #craftcouncil #FebruArty #artsky #women'sart #fiberart #landscape #artquilt

Posting my quilt "the edge of the day" for FebruArty and ArtYear. Edge is definitely how I have been feeling recently, if you know what I mean. #FebruArty #ArtYear #quilt #artquilt #quiltsky #craftcouncil
Original art quilt pieced of many thin strips of cotton fabric with the yellow from the sun rising above the dark plum horizon. The sky is shades of blue and the land is also shades of blue. #original #madebyartist #westernmass #sunrise
