One of the great things about going to Quilt Market and Festival is seeing all my quilting buddies. I found Paula Nadelstern showing off some of her newest work.
And, I met Ginny Eckley, who is a master stencil maker and makes the exact right sort of stencils for the resist-type dyeing that I prefer. Check out her website!
One of the really great things about attending Market (the wholesale part of the show) is that you can really spend time looking at all the amazing quilts without having to jostle with all the Festival attendees. They are superb and the competition is stiff. The prize winners won't be announced until Wednesday. I wonder if some of my favorites will be among the winners.
The adventures of one fortunate woman, who is able to pursue her two primary passions, art and nature. The landscape might be the arid desert of New Mexico, my home state, or somewhere far afield. The activity might be the teaching of design to a group of art quilters, or the study of birds. I can't imagine doing anything resembling a 'normal' job. My life is my quilts, my birds, and the love of the outdoors.

Quadrille - 2010
Here's the newest quilt with flying geese galore, intertwined with a colorful star. The geese were made from a rainbow pack of hand-dyed gradations by Starr Design Fabrics, and the backgrounds were hand-painted by Mickey Lawler of Skydyes. This was a fun quilt to make. Donna B and I worked on it together.
