"Thoughts of the Mind Interpretations in Indigo"

                       

My book about the Indigo Installation I created and my early childhood years that I wrote in 2014 is being placed in  SAQA Archives at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. This is so huge for me after this much time has passed and now Studio Art Quilt Associates of which I am a long time Juried Artist Member has decided to give me this honor. They feel it is a important addition for future researchers to be able to access.
A pdf of the book is available on Blurb https://www.blurb.com/b/5239967-thoughts-of-the-mind-interpretations-in-indigo for 9.99 or you can order the soft cover book from me for 24.50 plus 1.75 for shipping within the U.S.

Spring Has Sprung

Spring is here and Visions Museum, San Diego, Ca. has its new on line exhibit titled "Spring" on line.
My textile "In Full Bloom" was chosen for this exhibit and it really fits the theme. click here

The idea for this textile came from a bouquet of roses my husband gave me. Every morning when I gazed at them I was surprised at how they kept blooming larger and larger. I then knew I had to create an art work about this beautiful bouquet. This textile was also exhibited one year at the Houston Quilt Festival, Houston, Texas also at the Pacific International Quilt Festival, Santa Clara, California. It brings me joy just looking at it. 

Hope you enjoy it also.
