There’s no snow in Anchorage Alaska. There is ice covering most of the sidewalks, streets and trails. We walk slow and add spikes to our shoes. My winter bike has studs, like our car, but without snow, winter biking isn’t much fun – it seems more cold and more dark without snow. Bike Merry – […]

Dancing Happy
This ballerina reminds me of yesterday. I was at a fabric store to get canvas for notebook covers and remembered I was low on tulle. I planned yo only white, but I was drawn to blush pink, champagne and neon colors. Yes, neon colors. Not sure how ballerinas will look in bright colors or what […]

She is Beautiful
A girl in boots with a dimensional skirt is a pattern I return to often. Not only is fun to create, but when people see these quilts, they connect with them and smile. A fellow artist at the gallery lamented that I hadn’t made any dark haired girls in boots, so I created many. Not […]
