WI Quilt Museum Quilt Update

Here is a picture of Luella Doss and I in front of the huge donation quilt for the WI Quilt Museum Project. The quilt hung in the Special exhibit area at the IQA show this Fall. I have had the pleasure of having my name placed on the quilt for donating my time for the quilting of this treasure.

Thanks Luella!

Mo's Hearts

Here are the main "hearts" for the new book marks for the LDS organization my sister, Kate, is running. Each heart comes as a bookmark on red ribbon with a hammered celtic swirl at the opposite end. We are trying to develop a piece of artwork to raise funds for the Loeys-Dietz Syndrome Foundation. My niece, Maureen, has Loeys-Dietz. Hopefully we will have more information soon where you can purchase one of these unique creations.

More brooches!

This was a gift to my work-mate, Cindi. A small token for Christmas..she really deserves more! A sterling silver heart and dichroic bead adorn this geometric brooch.

Latest brooch

This is my latest in the series of Madonna brooches I have been doing..This one is entitled "Madonna of the Land and Sea". It focuses around two pieces of dichroic glass i picked up this year while in Houston at the International Quilt festival. The larger piece has blues and greens; it reminds me of the earth from space and the smaller piece is a metallic blue.

It has crystals, silver discs and metallic seed beads. It will be available at the Morning Glory Gallery come the en d of this month. I am teaching a beading course at the end of January and will be using it as a sample.

Here is a selection of my new brooches for the gallery some have sold since I dropped them off..and I have made a few more at this time, also..but it shows you I haven't been sitting on my hands either!

Been way too Long!

I have been remiss at adding a new entry to my blog. I have begun a new job that encompasses most of my studio time of late. This is not to say i haven't been busy! I have made a series of new brooches for the Morning Glory Gallery, new heart bookmarks for the brand new non-profit organization for Loeys-Dietz Syndrome and have found some time to continue quilting for the Quilts of Valor project as well as a few of my favorite quilting customers. I hope to post more of the new stuff soon. Hang in there!
