Updates!

It has been a long time since I last posted. I have been very busy setting up a new Audiologic/ENT medical office. Now that we are in and a bit settled and I have a relatively simple understanding of the new Electronic Medical Records program..I thought I would share what I have been up to these days!

I won the North Shore Quilter's Guild Viewers Choice award for my entry: "KOI" a wholecloth in orange batik depicting goldfish (koi)..Anyone who knows me will attest to orange as the new neutral and a fish make my day..but alas, no beads on this one.

Koi and its companion Koi pond (a pick up sticks pattern)will be shown at the WI Quilt Expo in MAdison in September.

I am working on two quilts for BBD Creations: Sea Turtle and a surprise! Thanks to Lynne and Bonnie for a wonderful show in Ohio at NQA this summer. We had a lot of new customers and some regulars from that part of the country. I will be traveling with BBD to Houston again this Fall!

My beading has taken off in different directions as well. I taught at the WI Quilt Museum in June. Thanks to Luella for a wonderful day in the "barn". I am developing a new tie-tac version of Mo's heart pins..these are #15 seed bead pins for showing off your support for the Loeys-Dietz Syndrome Foundation. I still have about 125 Mo Heart pins at home; if you are interested in purchasing one please contact me by email.

In May, my local quilt shop, Fabric Fusion, closed it doors. Economic times have hit our area hard. I am no longer teaching in town but am looking for places interested in my skills.

Have to run...I will post pictures of my latest works in the near future!
