8 Bit Tulip Quilt

8 Bit Tulip Quilt Last summer I got to take my whole family to visit my brother who has been living in Amsterdam. I love Amsterdam...the canals, the food, the museums, and the flowers...especially the tulips. So as I prepared for that trip, I thought about what quilts I wanted to make and take with me on that summer adventure. I knew for sure I'd need to another tulip quilt. I'd made one for a previous trip to Amsterdam: And I love it! Sooooooo.....I decided to ... View the Post

Rothko Inspired Quilt

Rothko Inspired Quilt “Silence is so accurate.”― Mark Rothko I've been intrigued by the artwork of Mark Rothko ever since I can remember. Posters of his work were plastered (among others) all over the walls of my college dorms. And when I finally entered a Modern Art Museum for the first time in my 20's (the San Fransisco Museum of Modern Art) I was thrilled to find myself face to face with his work. In fact, I started to cry and when I reached into my pocket for a tissue I ... View the Post

What is Yeast?

What is Yeast? I love bread. I love to make bread.   I love to smell baking bread.   And, I love to eat bread…especially when it is still hot from the oven.

How to Make a Book Walk

How to Make a Book Walk I have been putting together book walks in my city since 2020…and I love them. But before I talk about HOW to make a Book Walk I should probably explain WHAT a book walk is.   This is a book walk: It is a book that has been taken apart, page by page, so that it can be read on a walk through a park or along a trail. The Arts Alliance that I work with started creating these walks during the pandemic as a way to give local kids and their moms an ... View the Post
