Artist of the Week, SAQA

I’ve done many small (mostly 5 x 7”) quilts while travelling. These have often included found objects from those places. I combined some in a piece entitled “From the Other side of the Wall,” which is currently travelling with Quilt National 2019. For the last two and a half years I have been working on a project to make a quilt of every town in Berks County (where I live). I will have at least 80 of these when I’m done, and will have an exhibit of them in December at Art Plus Gallery in West Reading.

Speaking of small works, I enjoy making other small pieces, often of birds.  I sell these in galleries and art fairs. They are all framed, as, indeed, are all of my pieces, except the very largest. And all small pieces are hand quilted.
