The flowers are here
I created this quilt inspired by the first spring flowers around our house. The background is randomly pieced, trying to show the ground right after the snow disappeared. I am not a garden person, so I put up some flower quilts at the entrance of our house
Spring is …
After a cold winter, New buds slowly begin to come out of the world in snow-covered ground. And the wind starts to turn warm gradually. Then the snow melts and the ground is exposed, it begins to turn green. Not long after, Nature changes colorfully and vividly. This is indeed
Spring – literally
I am a very literal person and so when I heard the next Prompt was Spring I immediately thought of the metal types not the season. I live in Australia where the seasons are not as severe as most of my fellow Cloth in Common artists. We don’t wait
Hope Springs
My piece embodies what spring means to me. It is the time of year when I yearn to try new things and when I most enjoy printing at my bench, in my studio, with the doors open to my garden. It is the time of year when hope springs.
Cuts of Lamb

I debated for a long time about what I should present as the prompt for this group. As the date grew closer, I kept coming back to the same idea over and over again. I live in Alaska, and the winter’s are long and dark and cold. I’ve written

Atomic Chairs
Atomic Chairs 40″ x 30″ Vintage & Contemporary Cotton Fabrics Improvisionally Cut, Pieced, and Quilted When I discovered that “Kitchen” was our prompt, I struggled for a bit. At first I thought, “What am I going to do with that?” We eat almost all of our meals at home. I
Grandma's Cupboard
I have fuzzy memories of my Grandma’s kitchen. But I do fondly remember my sister and I spending hours in her kitchen with her. Not necessarily cooking because she really didn’t enjoy cooking or baking. She was head nurse of a large hospital with her twin sister and they shared
Daily Bread
I bake a bread almost every day. This seems to be part of my German heritage, we just love a good crusty bread. I keep it very simple, just four ingredients: flour, water, yeast and salt. This gets mixed together and I let it rise for about 12 hours, then
Ghost Chef
I recently attended a retreat where I was taught a technique similar to sun printing, where you can paint fabric and place objects onto the wet cloth — as it dries, a ghostly image remains where the object touched the fabric, or blocked the light. I searched our kitchen
