VERY pleased that one of my favorite works has been accepted into the FORM NOT FUNCTION exhibit at the Carnegie Center for Art & History in New Albany, Indiana, from January 6 through March 3, 2012:

ALLELE -The Genome Project Series

and a detail 

I have combined both free-motion machine stitching and quilting with hand stitching on this piece, a technique which I have been using quite often.  The fabrics are the delectable African (Ghana) hand-dyed batiks on jacquard woven cotton cloth that I’ve used exclusively in this series inspired by the mapping of the human genome.  And the fabrics and this series has led me to another series which is dominating my current work, Organically Grown.  One good thing leads to another, it is a good life!  

VERY pleased to announce my work was juried into the Quilts+Art=Quilts 2011 exhibit at the Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn, New York.

This is a fabulous space and fine art center in a gorgeous part of our state just thirty miles south of Syracuse.  This is the third year I’ve tried for this exhibit and I guess THREE is the magic number.  The opening was the October 29 weekend, we had dinner at Rosalie’s Cucina, shopping in Skaneateles, brunch at Springside Inn and plenty of time to enjoy the HUGE exhibit of exemplary art quilts.

Photo is taken by good friend and art quilter Elaine Quehl, she sure made me and my work look GOOD…..and she loved my name tag and took a shot so I’ll include that here,too…
