Artful Sightings


Hurray, my Summertime Cat has returned from her far-flung travels! She has been everywhere from Road to California to PIQF and points in between. I have put her back up on my wall immediately.

I love my calendar from Paper Source. The graphic designs are divine. I bought it in February so it was half off.


When the month is over, you can turn the pages into stuff. There are lines on the back of the page for cutting and folding. This is a nifty gift box, card, and tag from January. I haven't cut up February yet. Pretty nifty, huh?



I was going to take a photo last weekend of some graffiti in Laguna that I suspected was by Banksy, but sadly it was torn down by then. :-(  It was a really cool Einstein dressed up like a tourist, with a camera hanging from his neck. So I took this photo from the Balboa Island Ferry instead.

Quilts out and about, and finished projects

It's been a couple of weeks, but this is my "Summertime Cat" at PIQF, taken by Terry. It's part of the travelling exhibit Noble Seasons/Summer. My "Mille Fiore" was also there.
My quilt "It's Your Fault" is currently in Houston at Quilt Festival, as part of the "Beneath the Surface" exhibit. You can see it on the far left of this photo taken by Jamie.

I'm almost finished with a small donation quilt, featuring a house  and a flag. I'll post it when it's finished. I'm also working on my Noble Seasons "Autumn" quilt.


I sent this off recently for Samantha, and I hear that she is wearing it. Hats are fun!


Ditto on this little alpaca number. The yarn was hand-dyed; I purchased it at the farmer's market where Martine and Jack sell their wares.


Here is the hat in progress, with a peek at what the yarn looked like before it gets knitted up. It's a mysterious melange in a ball, but it transforms into neat little stripes. Cool, huh?

Many Quilts Out and About

Several of my quilts can be seen out and about locally. I will have two quilts and one mixed media book at "Fiber Artistry," the first ever Art Quilt exhibit at the Orange County Fair through mid-August. (more details in previous posts) "15 Selvedges" is one of them.
"Happy Birthday 2 Me!" is also at the Orange County Fair. I hear it's an outstanding exhibit, featuring works by Jamie Fingal and other Orange County fiber artists.
My mixed-media book, "Inner Children," is also there. I don't know yet what page it will be opened to - so many choices.
"Summertime Cat" is appearing at Soft Expressions Upstairs Gallery with the "Summer" exhibit. The address is 1230 North Jefferson Street, Suite M, Anaheim. Phone: 714-630-7414.
Last but not least, "It's Your Fault" will be in the special exhibit, "Beneath the Surface," at the Long Beach Quilt Festival. The dates are July 22 - 25.  This event is at the Long Beach Convention Center, 300 E. Ocean Blvd, Long Beach. More info at http://www.quilts.com/, and I'll be there for some of it. I'm excited!
