I’m excited to be a part of making a tree skirt for the Christmas Tree for the US Capitol.
The Six Rivers Forest will contribute the tree and our guild will build the 15′ diameter tree skirt.
I’ll try to post progress pictures as we go along. FUN

well it’s done. It was fun to make, but I’m not sure the silk part is better than when I paint on cotton…maybe.
I’m trying something new. Well, I’ve painted a quilt top before, but this one is on silk!
Yes, it’s a bit different, but I’m hoping it will be useable when the painting is done.
The subject is a bit weird too – it’s a last year’s artichoke flower…I found it in the garden before it was cleaned out this Spring, and it looked interesting to my eye. Here are a couple of progress shots…more to come.
This is one of those pieces, that I put up on the shelf. Yesterday, I pulled it out. I’m working on the quilting today.
Today I was excited to see that my tiny quilt “Day in the Forest” was featured by the National Quilt Museum.
A Day in the Forest quilt: This tiny quilt was made as a donation to the Studio Art Quilt Association and traveled extensively to various places and shows. It was chosen to be part of a further donation to the National Quilt Museum. It is an honor to have it there.
The picture is one taken when my husband and I walked through the Arcata Redwood Forest. It was a walk specifically done looking for quilt inspiration.
Oh, my – haven’t we had a challenging year!? I hope you have been producing lots of new projects and enjoying the “at home” time with your family.
I’ve made 3 quilts during this Covid at home time.
the 2 art quilts were commissioned pieces and the Irish chain was made from blue and white scraps. I’m trying to keep busy.
Blessings to you! – enjoy your day
The Paducah show was postponed until September. –
Recently it was cancelled – so sad that we can’t get together for fun events.
My “Crescent View” quilt will be a semi-finalist at the Paducah, Ky show.
If you are going to the show, you should be sure to stop by the National Quilt Museum. I have been told that “Forest Walk” will be hanging in the museum during the show. But anytime you can go, it’s worth a trip to go to the museum and browse the wonderful pieces there.
I’m happy to have my quilt headed to Lancaster.
