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.

Ultimate Recycling
This raincoat was made by my partner in quilting, Donna Barnitz, for the 2007 Santa Fe Recycle Fashion Show. It is a modified Simplicity pattern, stitched from 8 - 50 lb Purina Dog Food bags and one yellow Ol' Roy bag. The tarp-like "fabric" is perfect for inclement weather. A matching umbrella completes the ensemble. Modeled by Donna's beautiful daughter, Katy, it was the First Place winner! Way to go, Donna! The photos were taken by Paula Scott.
