Blue Jean Ball April 10th

ACA Blue Jean Ball – April 10th

I recently joined the board of the arts organization that has given me the most support and helped me to grow as an artist over the past few years – the Arlington Center for the Arts. And, I am excited to say that our annual gala is coming up soon and will be virtual this […]

2020 Year in Review

Oof. I don’t need to tell you that 2020 was a crappy year. With all of the stress of the year, the time spent making nothing but masks, and the months when I just couldn’t get motivated to create anything, I feel like I did no quilting this year. But, when I look back at […]

2019 Year in Review

How is it already the middle of January?  I didn’t think that the end of the year had snuck up on me, but somehow a third of January was already gone before I realized I’d missed writing my Year in Review post. So, better late than never! My focus for 2019 was really the Victims […]
