My Recent Talk and Trunk Show

This past Tuesday evening, the talented women of the Thumbstall Quilt Guild in Marcellus, NY graciously invited me to speak about my work as a dyer and quilter, as well as show some of my quilts. Their support, enthusiasm and excellent questions made me feel so welcome. Before that evening, I had decided to join the guild, so that night I became a member! I'm looking forward to pitching in, continuing the guild's purpose:

"...for the preservation of a unique art form and to foster the highest standards of excellence in the practice of quilting through an active program of education and study to preserve this heritage."

I'd especially like to thank the members for supporting my work as a dyer by purchasing my fabrics and yarn that evening. To hear their feedback and their thoughts about how they'd use the fabrics or yarns was rewarding. I can only hope they'll share their finished pieces with me! :)

Most of the shop has been updated, with a Fat Quarter update coming very soon.  I'm currently in the midst of overhauling my studio, and plan to share that process right here in the near future. Don't forget to try for your chance at a FREE natural dye kit!
