And it's done. I call this quilt "notes on the sunrise". What do you think? It is 42 by 42 inches, machine pieced and quilted. Of course it is an original design. #artquilt #originalquilt #pieced #landscape #etsy #craftcoundil #quiltstudio

How nice to get my quilt "blue moon" back after its Photo shoot. I missed it. #artquilt #art #etsy #quiltstudio #shelburnefalls #paradisecityartsfestival

I loved this sign at the demonstration in my little town made by a young friend of mine.

WTF???

Thank you Mayor Frey.

Unbelievable.

Slowly...slowly...progress. #piecing #workinprogress #quilt #quiltstudio

What fun I am having working on this new quilt in slightly different colors and concepts. What do you think? #workinprogress #artquilt #piecing #quilt #baltimorecraftshow #paradisecityartsfestival

Adamantly against our military reducing the pension of any soldier without the process afforded citizens. Targeting individual citizens long after they’ve served is wrong and anti-democratic. Obviously. I don’t know why this needs to be said.

Thank you Tim Walz.

Sometimes we need a moment of calm. That is why I made these quilted mats in soft teal. What do you think? #tablemats #soldonetsy #makermade #craftcouncil

Lest we forget.

Thank you NATO.

Most Corrupt President in the history of The United States! It’s literally one thing after another! How about taking care of us Americans ?!?!?

And it is done. My first quilt of the new year which I call not surprisingly "first light". What do you think? It is 31 by 60 inches. #artquilt #etsy #soldonetsy #craftcouncil #paradisecityartsfestival #pieced #quilt

Don't they just want the oil? And maybe also to create chaos in the world.

Of course.

Where or where is Congress when we need it?

Who would have thought it?

All I can scream is WHY??????

I am busy reading "By the Second Spring" an amazing and touching story of seven lives of Ukrainians during the first year of the war. Definitely recommend.

Happy New Year. Find joy where you can and stay true to yourself. Together we can get through this. Here is what will be the first quilt of 2026. #artquilts #machinequilting #workinprogress #quilts

Way to go NYC!!!

Wow!!

As the year ends, I am feeling a bit reflective. This is one of my favorite quilts of the year--which I call "musings of autumn". What do you think? #artquilt #pieced #quilt #art

Progress on the new quilt. What do you think? #workinprogress #piecing #quilt #quiltstudio

Thanks for stating it so clearly.

Well I didn't own this quilt for long. What a great way to end 2025. #artquilt #quiltstudio #art #success #shelburnefalls

And now I have progress on the new quilt as I return to the studio. I love it when I have a work in progress to let me get back into the flow. #piecing #workinprogress #artquilt #quiltstudio

Here's wishing everyone the best of the season, happy holidays and may the New Year have calm and hope. #happyholidays

Isn't it time to celebrate the dark mysteries of the winter night with these new quilted place mats? #etsy #tabledecor #quiltedmats #purple #quiltstudio #shelburnefalls

Of course she is a psychopath.

Yes, tomorrow will have 5 seconds more daylight than today. Here is my quilt "song of the springtime" which I just finished. What do you think? #artquilt #abstracttextile #art #etsy #quiltstudio #shelburnefalls

Good to hear that.

Ahh--he was there!!

Here's my quilt "the dawning" wishing everyone a Happy Winter Solstice. #solstice #winter #quilt #artquilt #landscape #fiberart #quiltstudio

Worth remembering.

Of course.

All I can say is that the universe is a constant source of wonder. Wow!!

And now for the machine quilting. #artquilt #workinprogress #quiltstudio #quilting #craftcouncil #americanmade #baltimore #paradisecityartsfestival

To paraphrase--Mr Resident, I remember Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a great President. And Mr Resident, you are NO Jack Kennedy.

Finally I made a bit of progress on the new quilt. I love that feeling when it starts to come together. #workinprogress #piecing #artquilt

We can only hope.

Gradually I am trying to switch my color palette from the rich warms of winter to the fresh colors of spring. Do you also do this? #tabledecor #quiltstudio #springcolors #makermade #quiltedmats #soldonetsy #etsy

Tired of the stress of the holidays. In Western Massachusetts, there is still time to visit 22 amazing small shops, get your Passport stamped and find their treasures while enjoying the charm of Shelburne Falls. #shelburnefalls #shopsmall #passport #visitshelburnefalls #westernmass

As the cold increases, it is time to start to think spring. A bit of progress on my first quilt celebrating spring. #artquilt #workinprogress #quiltstudio #piecing #spring

Of course.

I just finished a custom order for four quilted place mats in spring green. Aren't they cheery and bright? #custom #quilted #tabledecor #placemats

I love it--as soon as I post this image of chartreuse place mats with the black and white ones, I get an order for apple green mats. #customorder #tabledecor #placemats #quilts #quiltstudio
