My garden spider disappeared from the center of her web. I found her here, with her two lovely egg sacks. #gardenspider

No. 13 in the wild with an Urban Cow in Austin, TX. The exact same blocks as No. 12, though it looks remarkably different! Love this one! New blog post about it coming tomorrow! #modernquilt #HST #quilt #quiltsky #cowart #quiltsinthewild

Part 1 of No. 11 is up on my blog. A fun color palette to play with, and a LOT of yellow! Defining Yellow as a neutral. 😅 #artquilt #modernquilt #minimalism #yellow

Today’s postcard to the white house.
From July 6. Bull Creek. With water. We have measured 4” of rain near this spot. Normally it is barely flowing with a trickle of water. A little rain can go a long way. #flashflood #bullcreek #austin

No. 2 From a photo shoot a few weeks ago. Same creek, same spot as the previously raging waters video I posted. I am struggling with the emotional toll of last week’s flood and I was not directly affected. My heart goes out to those who were. #quiltsky #modernquilt #creek #quiltsinthewild #bullcreek

Austin's troll, Malin by Thomas Dambo. Malin is here to remind us that we should share water and resources with the animals that live here with us. I thought it was the perfect complement for my little blue quilt. #quiltsky #modernquilt #quilt #HST #blue #troll @thomasdambo

No. 6, 48" x 27".
Crazy in love with this one, so I had to get it's portrait with another favorite of mine, this stone rhino. Anyone else noticing how their joy is significantly dulled by world events? Wishing you peace today.

I am on cloud nine that my quilt, What's Next, has been juried into the International Quilt Festival in Houston this fall! Here it is on a field trip to one of my favorite boulders at Bull Creek. #quiltfestival #quilt #modernquilt #quiltsky #saqaart #themqg #artquilt

No. 5 has been posted on my blog. This little stand of flowers looked fantastic the day before, and now, a little beaten down by the winds and heavy rain. Nonetheless, I love the simple joy of these saturated colors and minimal design. #hst #modernquilt #blue #yellow #quiltsinthewild #quiltsky

Third year of transforming my backyard with native plants instead of a lawn. The rain has really made my plants bloom. Very cheerful in light of our continued constitutional crises. #gardenspaces #breatheinbreatheout #getoutside

How to ‘vote’ before an election. Send a note to your representatives about what you want. Since Apr 4, I have sent 145 postcards to our nation’s leaders. So many topics for consideration. Speak up now, while you still can. #democracy #activism #protest #resist #speakup #write #call #email
