Interview 2

Hi everyone,
Thank you to all of you who were able to drop by my studio last Saturday. The afternoon was great fun. Also, special thanks to the Log Cabin Quilters and my friend Cindy for the lovely flowers. (I have deftly managed to position them so they are not subject to cat attack.)

Among the guests were a number of traditional quilters, a couple of art quilters – also members of Studio Art Quilt Associates, Bill Lyth, a potter from Minnesota, and many friends. Everyone took turns using my professional quilting machine to pitch in to finish a quilt I am donating to one of my favorite charities, Binky Patrol. Yes, it is a funny name but they do great work in our local area. Binky Patrol supporters donate handmade quilts, blankets, hats and mittens for distribution to local homeless and crisis shelters, hospitals and missions.
I was fortunate enough to work with a friend – Joyce – on assembling the top for this donation quilt. It was such fun, we hope to continue to work together on bed quilts that we can donate to charity.
I also had the very beginnings of the portrait of Laura on display – the next work in my Motorcyclist Portrait Project series. I’m hoping to finish Laura a.k.a. “the Librarian” this week. Have a good one and I’ll check in with you later!
