I’m a member of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) and I share the role of Representative for the Northern California/Nevada region with Sandy Wagner. I had the pleasure of hosting Sandra Sider, President of SAQA, at my home earlier this month. She was in town for other business and graciously offered to conduct a session […]

Borrowed From Nature – Artist Reception
The reception for my solo exhibit Borrowed From Nature, was held on Saturday, October 22, from 6 – 8 p.m. One of the nice things about the artist receptions at Creative Framing & Gallery is that they are held several weeks after the exhibit opens — it acts more as a closing reception. Some of […]
Creative Living is a very good thing
In the past week I’ve received email and phone requests to purchase my book. The interested parties had seen me on TV and were excited about making fabric postcards! A bit of history here…please bear with me. In January 2010 my publisher, C & T Publishing, alerted me that Sheryl Borden, Producer/Host of Creative Living […]

I will be at the gallery tomorrow from 6 – 8 p.m. demonstrating how I create fabric postcards. I’ll also have copies of my book for sale. Liz […]
SAQA Auction a Success
309 art quilts were donated for the 2011 SAQA Auction, raising $52,100! I’d call that a raging success actually. The funds raised through the Auction are critical to supporting SAQA’s exhibitions, catalogs and outreach programs. And I was lucky enough to be high bidder on Elemental Surprise by Janice McKeehan of Houston, Texas. […]
Precious Metals
I couldn’t resist using the three metals — copper, silver and gold — that I just used for postcards in my next small quilt. I’ve just finished the quilting and I have it prepared to block. Since it’s just 14 inches square right now, it shouldn’t take long to dry. I’ve already decided […]
