In the Heat of Summer and Twirly Birds on Exhibit

Two of my pieces "In the Heat of Summer" ...

... and "Twirly Birds" ...

are included in the exhibit Mississippi Quiltings at The MAX in Merdian, MS through Aug. 11, 2019.

Here are the details of the exhibit.

Material Pulses: Seven Viewpoints

May 25, 9:00 am – August 11, 5:00 pm

Material Pulses: Seven Viewpoints,* the next changing exhibit at The MAX, focuses on the art of quilt making, and represents seven fiber artists from around the world. Curated by internationally renowned artist and teacher Nancy Crow, Material Pulsescontributes to the dialogue of contemporary textile arts. Says Crow, “Material Pulsesis the culmination of my mission to bring back the majesty, strength, and energy of textile works, particularly large quilts.”
Mississippi Quiltings is the materialization of talent from right here in Mississippi. Twenty quilts were selected from submissions of original quilts by Mississippi artists to make up this exhibit. Paired with Material Pulses, these exhibitions will expose Mississippians to new techniques and hopefully inspire new artists.
Free with museum admission.

Flying Geese on My Design Wall

On my design wall ...

I'm working on a quilt using the traditional 'flying geese' block as inspiration. I set the blocks into a 'carpenter wheel' layout and colored them up to get this design.

You can see the start of this project here.

The changing sky captures my attention so often.

Flying Geese

Life ...
I spotted these geese on the pond the other day. I wish they would stay!

Ashton is learning to use the sewing machine.


... as a Quilter
On my design wall -- I'm starting a new piece using "flying geese" blocks.

By using Electric Quilt to create my quilt I could print the blocks and now I'm paper piecing the colored fabric to each assigned section.


I used 8 of these blocks to create the star above.
