Workshops & Lectures. Category Archives: Recent Work. Puppy Love, Part 2. May 5, 2016. I’ve finished something in less than a month; 2 1/2 weeks actually. It’s such a thrill to jump into a project and just breeze through to the end. With this piece, I took a break from thread painting and just did some dense stitching. The new challenge was to establish some designs that would fit with each element of the composition. Stitching the face was a leap of faith. It is so tricky to stitch the face! Desperate t...

Workshops & Lectures. A Horse of Course. June 10, 2015. I’ve been away from the blog for a while, but, as you might have guessed, progress did continue on the horseman. In my race to finish it in time to submit to the Houston quilt competition, all available resources were diverted to making progress on this piece. I did take some photos along the way and will share that progress with you in my next few blog posts. Shiny and dull threads for this horse. These photos show how the work progressed. First, I...

Workshops & Lectures. Category Archives: published material. Judging a Book by its Cover. September 30, 2014. After working on my new book all summer: sewing samples, photographing the stages, and explaining it all with text, it came time to design the cover. I thought that using a photo of my work, “Panning for Gold” would be great since it has won a couple of awards this year. That’s when I discovered the benefits of having a great editor and designer looking out for me. If you are thinking about writi...

Workshops & Lectures. Category Archives: art quilts. Making Faces All Summer Long. August 24, 2016. As a school teacher, I love summer vacation as much as my student, maybe more. For me, it’s a chance to spend more time showing my fiber art, talking about my process, teaching my techniques, and of course, making thread-painted portraits. This summer was no exception.

Workshops & Lectures. Category Archives: time management. February 23, 2015. The horse’s patooty is coming off the edge. The key with this composition is to keep some key elements consistent across both panels. In this case, it is the lines of the background. As they continue from one panel to the other, they create a cohesive composition. I’m loving this. Willis to the rescue. New Project: The Bike Boys. December 9, 2013. Who Has TIme for Art?

It’s such a thrill to jump into a project and just breeze through to the end. With this piece, I took a break from thread painting and just did some dense stitching. The new challenge was to establish some designs that would fit with each element of the composition. The blonde hair of the girl was easy. I used various values of yellow threads in long, undulated lines of stitching.
