Pieces of Me
Karol Kusmaul Cell Structures Though there are many types of cells in our great world, I decided on human cells, and made a portrait. In trying to follow the theme and the idea that we are made up of billions of cells, I envisioned a face with lots of small
The smallest unit of life
Cell is the unit that it becomes a basic structure and activity of all living things. Cell differ in shape and size even within an organism. Human nerve cells that need to transmit a stimulus quickly look like a long electric cords, and are connected to each other. There are
Another Kind of Cell
Digital spreadsheets are used to store, organize and manipulate data and were originally based on paper spreadsheets used for accounting. Data are stored in tables which are a collection of CELLS organized into rows and columns. Software programs such as Excel or Google sheets can store hundreds of tables or
Theme Recap
I thought it would be a good time for a recap of what this group is about. We take turns proposing a theme for each of our quilts. We have overall themes for each approximately two year round of work. Beginning in 2017, all of our themes were UNUSUAL. If
DISCOVERING and WONDERING
Developing a story, or a piece of artwork, around the CELL is a magical ride through the fascinating world of “what’s inside” and how might it affect our “OUTside”. I am fascinated by the magical and very precious role of the STEM CELL. Having worked in health care for many

The Fighting Cell
A Cell is the Basic Unit of Life A cell membrane separates the cell from the outside world A cell has genes and can leave its own copy to offspring A cell makes energy and substances necessary for the cell to live A cell cooperates with other cells to structure
The Center #2
I had so much fun creating “Deb’s Building” for the last prompt (building), I decided to create another version for the prompt “light.” Here are the two quilts side by side. And yes, the color of The Center changes in real life, too. I think the green version shows the
Stewart Island Sunset
The prompt of light reminded my of my trip to Rakiura / Stewart Island which has often been the forgotten island of New Zealand. Like at anchor at the bottom of the country it is inhabited by 400 people on a permanent basis but is home to several thousand tourists
