I am thrilled to be a part of this collaborative exhibition. Do check out the website for the American Association of Woodturners. I think you’ll understand how I feel.



Hi Franki. Love your piece! The quilting is really lovely. Bill and I are the AAW/SAQA members combo and I frequently find inspiration on their website as he does on the SAQA site. Thanks for sharing your calming Woodwardia Wonder.
Lovely to hear from you Bobbie! This piece is one of my all-time favs. I am really thrilled about this exhibit too. I just got a copy of the catalogue and, boy howdie, some incredible pieces from all of the artists! I am ‘hanging’ in good company!
This is wonderful! Congratulations!
Thank you Gay!
