So glad I woke up early Monday morning to attend my Sit ‘n Stitch group! One of the members generously donated two bags of fabric that she no longer wanted. There were some beautiful fabrics included —scraps, half yard and even whole yard pieces. After taking out most of the blue fabrics for myself (already planning my next scrap quilt),… Read more →

Art Inspiration: Celebrate America!!!
I had a great 4th of July! I spent time with family, ate good food, and enjoyed being among the hundreds of locals who witnessed the spectacular fireworks. While it was wonderful to see the various displays of patriotism on the 4th, I’ve been thinking a lot about what patriotism looks like in words, actions, and deeds. Here is my… Read more →
Art Inspiration: Easter 2017
I made this doll quilt for my granddaughter after we attended “Dolls Day Out” at the Mercer Museum in Doylestown, PA. After an old fashioned tea and doll parade, we enjoyed the rest of the afternoon participating in the engaging activities scheduled during this event. The many doll clothes and miniature quilts on display inspired me to start working on… Read more →
Telling My Story in Fabric in Bucks County, PA
The ladies of The County Line Quilters Guild invited me this month to speak at their March meeting. Not only did we share a passion for quilting, but many of us were from the field of education. We all had a good time and since this was a local group, they shared information with me about events and stores within… Read more →

Time for a Break!
While the country was continuing its fierce spiral in the wrong direction, I took a break from the unbelievable chaos that I witnessed on my TV screens. I attended my monthly book club meeting although I knew I had plenty of work that I needed to complete before 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. That was the time that I had to… Read more →
Happy Holidays! Simple but Sweet
I love this panel that I picked up at a Lancaster fabric store years ago. With simple quilting, it becomes a beautiful throw to display during the Christmas season. I chose to heavily quilt the tree itself but not the dark green background. I could have stopped there but decided this was one to go all out with embellishment. Round… Read more →
Art Inspiration: Tee Shirts
The t-shirt quilt shown below was a fun way to use the tees that I know I should have stopped wearing a long time ago. I even persuaded my husband to get rid of some of his own. Nine tee shirts are enough to make a quilted throw, but I decided to add pieced segments for further interest. The flag… Read more →
Art Inspiration: Creative Africa
Creative Africa is a wonderful exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. For anyone who appreciates fashion, photography, textiles, and fiber art, this is a must-see…The closing date is September 25, 2016, so there’s still time to get there. Below are photos from this event. The second one is a picture of a young lady who was nice enough to… Read more →
Father’s Day 2016: Check out this 49 year old beauty
Enjoyed the beautiful weather during Father’s Day weekend. The vehicle below is what I call a real head turner. The owner explained that it is a 1967 VW and gets a lot of attention. It got my attention and I consider it artfully pleasing! Happy Father’s Day to all dads!!! Artfully yours, Chris Read more →
