Pictures from around the studio — lots of works in progress right now.
A little something to look forward to.
Another little something to look forward to.
A month ago, Victoria of Bumblebeans issued a challenge to make a quilt based on this Matisse painting called Interior in Aubergines. She encouraged us to “turn off your brain” and work quickly, intuitively. I wasn’t able to participate in the challenge at the time due to great disarray in my workspace, but the idea stuck with me.
Last week I was given a stack of home decorating magazines and, well, add in a little late-afternoon migraine medicine and the rest is history.
It’s many weeks late, and it’s a collage (not a quilt), but hey. The other submissions are really neat to look at (scroll down). I’m so glad Victoria got this idea.
What about you? What are you working on today?

Currently my most satisfying work is the act of bringing order to the built-up chaos of my creative materials! I’ve been organizing beads, weeding out sewing projects, unpacking and repacking boxes of unused art supplies. Not coincidentally, I am TOTALLY IN LOVE with the spring green of some of the fabrics in your photo. It’s my color lately–revitalizatino and rebirth.
