Another of my "moon" quilts as I get ready for Moonlight Magic tomorrow night in Shelburne Falls. A great way to spend time with family and help support small business and not give money to those who don't need it. #shelburnefalls #shopsmall #moonlightmagic #artquilt
Pieced and quilted original fabric art showing the moon rising into the blue sky above the waves of teal. #original #art #quilt #pieced

Next up--a smaller square version of my quilt "ballad of August" for a photo shoot. This should be fun to do. #artquilt #photoshoot #abstracttextile #makermade #custom

I love it when customers send me installation shots of my work in its new home. In this case, the customer fell in love with the piece for her home in Maine. Don't you love how it works with the other bits of color in the room? #installation #artquilt #modernlandscape #makermade #abstracttextile

And it's done. My latest art quilt which I call "sketch of the sunrise". I love how joyous yet calm this quilt is. What do you think? #etsy #artquilt #quilt #pieced #sunrise #art #originalart #abstraction
Original art quilt of the sunrise created by piecing and sewing many thin strips of cotton fabric going through the cotton batting onto the back, then machine quilted to give it even more substance and texture. 16 by 40 inches #abstractfiber #contemporary #landscape #artistmade

Beginning to machine quilt the new piece. Aren't the differences subtle but significant. #workinprogress #quilting #artquilt #quiltstudio #wallart

I love it when a client sends me an image of the custom piece in its new home. Doesn't it look great there? #custom #artquilt #tabledecor #quiltedrunner #bureauscarf #artistmade #pieced

Sometimes you just want a gentle bit of color. Maybe mist rising in the morning or the calm of the beach on a foggy day. Don't these new place mats make you exhale and relax? #quiltedmats #tabledecor #etsy #nauticaldecor #makermade #shelburnefalls
Two quilted table mats in gradations of the color teal. Pieced. #teal

Sometimes it is the little things that can change the day? That is why I made this small mug rug, table topper or even inspiration for your studio. What do you think? #etsy #smallquilt #gift #artquilt #mugrug

It is hard to believe that it is already time to begin thinking about promoting my shows in 2026. I just used an image of my quilt "bright morning" for the ACC Show in Baltimore in February. #finecraft #artquilt #quiltbusiness #craftcouncil

What fun I had trying to capture the sheer joy and variety of the colors of the season. I call this "abstractions of autumn". What do you think? Is it a wall hanging, table centerpiece or bed throw? #quilted #pieced #originalfiber #quiltstudio #art #collage #etsy #soldonetsy
A long pieced quilt made of many thin strips of cotton fabric sewed through the cotton batting onto the back, then intensely quilted to capture the many colors of the season. #quiltsky #coloroftheday #autumncolors A detail of my new quilt against the wonderful colors of the season.

There is something about bright green against a blue sky that reassures us, isn't there? #tablemats #etsy #quilts #makermade #quiltstudio #shelburnefalls
Pieced bright green place mats against the rich blue of the sky and river with many different fabrics creating the overall effect. #coloroftheday #green

What an interesting order--I need to piece a table runner in many different fabrics to create an overall color. It is more difficult than I thought to keep variety without having any one strip dominate. #workinprogress #piecing #quiltstudio #customorder
