Colorful!

I've made 3 quilts recently, and none of them can be published on the web yet due to entry rules for various events.  Two of them WILL be published in a book next spring!  The book is tentatively titled Dare to Dance:  An Artist's Interpretation of Joy, and the author is Mary Kerr.





Pleinweave, made several years ago from fabric I spray-dyed especially for this quilt, and very carefully cut and pieced to keep the original color flow.  The pattern is a traditional basket lattice.

I made several smaller pieces from the leftover dyed fabrics, and more black, of course.

Update:  Look for two of my quilts at the International Quilt Festival in Houston this fall in the "Tactile Architecture" and "In the American Tradition" exhibits!  Big happy dance!
Second update:  Look for a third quilt in  the "Hands All Around" exhibit!  Holy cow!

So, here is an older, but popular quilt, Cornered!


Detail of Boris the black cat, who is now 13 years old.


Detail of Moose the Orange cat, who is now 8 years old.
Detail of Oslo.  She died last summer and is buried next to Boris's sister Natasha and Rorschach, who lived with us from 1988- 1999.
