Around the Studio

Posted on 07:31 by Unknown
The big tasks this week have been printing and organizing. Since I moved the studio, I never really found a place for everything and there were lots of piles and boxes that never found a home. So I finally got around to ordering some filing cabinets, shifting the furniture around and finding a home for all the papers, supplies, and files that had accumulated.

New Quilts, Scarves, and Pillows

Posted on 10:43 by Unknown
The quilts I posted when we returned from India are almost gone, so today I wanted to re-post the remaining pieces, and add some new ones as well! The top few quilts are remaining from the original sale, and then Piece #22 and onward are brand new scarves, pillow covers and quilts. I've also added in the PayPal "Buy Now" button so you can buy straight from this page, rather than emailing to purchase (the button corresponds to the photos below it,...
