Pinned bindings on art quilts
Cat biting another cat’s neck
I pinned things. That’s it. Plus watched the little baby kitten dominate her Auntie Nova. #artquilt #dyepainting
What Happened to Your Face?!
Hey yo. I'm not sure I can feel this tired in the morning forever. I feel like my body should be adjusting. I'm going to bed at the appropriate time for the time shift, so I'm getting the 'right' amount of sleep (or the amount of sleep I normally get anyway, which is…
All about the purple. All the bindings are on…time for some me handsewing bliss. #artquilt #dyepainting

I have 2 pieces in this show…come to the opening this Sunday! I should be there in the first hour. #artquilt #SAQA

Ceramic sculpture, female, front, with star shape cut out
I did some clay things today. #handbuilding #ceramicsculpture
It Feels Early.
Hello. It feels early. No one has abolished Daylight Savings Time yet. It's kind of a cruel joke to make me get up early on a Monday and then go teach middle-school kids today. Should be a day off or something. No one gets up early on Sunday...Monday is when we feel it. Ugh. I…
Art quilt with angry woman’s face
Another set of binding and sleeves on #artquilt #dyepainting
Pile of quilt tops and fabric strips
I finished quilting the pink face and cut bindings and sleeves for three of these. #artquilt #dyepainting
Dye painted quilt of head spewing many colors
Mostly quilted. Fought the cranky thread. May bury the rest of the spool in the yard at midnight to appease the Thread Goddess. #artquilt #dyepainting
Pain Meds…
Fridays. Fridays mean the weekend. This weekend? Time to catch up on grading; Trimester 2 ends today and there's lot to get done. I'm almost there. I graded for a while yesterday (after dental surgery). Then I need to grade the stuff they turned in this week, which was an entire packet…
Dye-painted eye in quilt with binding
Back of small beige dog, facing away, small tortoise shell cat facing towards the camera
Binding and sleeves on one (found stash fabric that worked), plus my post-dental-surgery view, furry butts always appreciated. #artquilt #dyepainting
Quilting a dye painting
Thread is fussy, needle eye is small, brain is tired. And this one…I think is my favorite. #artquilt #dyepainting
It’s All Rainbows?
I'm working on some new pieces that are supposed to be for a show in a conservative part of Southern California. I figured these dye paintings would be quicker than trying to draw and make a whole new quilt that fits their 'no nudity' rules, plus it gets me to finally start…
Dye painted art quilt being quilted
Dye painted art quilt with eye
Quilting…eyes. #artquilt #dyepainting
Don’t Really Know What I’m Doing…
Well. Here we are. It's Monday again. I'm not sure how I feel about the last weekend. I did some things. I didn't do all the things (I never do). I don't feel like I did enough of the things (I rarely do). Sometimes though, it really feels like a dearth of…
Dye painted art quilt of two heads
Still quilting this one…color changes and cranky thread slowed me down. #artquilt #dyepainting #mansplaining
Dye painted art quilt, side view of brown woman
Second one is quilted…planning embroidery in eye and something interesting for the hair, #artquilt #dyepainting
Quilted, needs embroidery and binding. Maybe a speech bubble. #artquilt #dyepainting
Friday Eyeballs…
It's Friday. Pro. Con? We're dissecting eyeballs today, which is cool, but I'll have no voice by the end of the day and I'll feel like I need a shower after touching all the gooey things. With gloves, sure, but it still gets old after all day. Also, the weekend sounds great, but…
Well hand appliqué was not on my list for tonight, until it was. #artquilt #dyepainting #applique
Screaming woman head dye painted art quilt top with paper pieces on top
Pinbasted this one after adding borders but then she asked for more. #artquilt #dyepainting
Weird Week…
This week is messy. Mentally. Not really. I had a training thing on Monday, which lasted 12 minutes and then we spent the rest of the day planning the next three weeks before Spring Break, so we wouldn't lose our minds (good plan) and starting a plan for after break. Then I gave a test…
Dye painting of two heads
Got borders on this one; had to rewash it due to recalcitrant wrinkles. #artquilt #dyepainting #mansplaining
Dye painting with female putting a hand toward a yelling man
Oh hey, not a hockey reference, but could be…still working with these dye paintings…lots of work left to do on them. #artquilt #dyepainting #mansplaining
Good Place to Be…
I woke up this morning having an internal argument with a student about an email they sent last night, then realized I am not in the classroom today because after teaching sex ed for over 23 years (maybe more), I need to be trained in how to do that. For the third or fourth…

I’m diverting from a road well traveled (probably mangled that quote 😂). #artquilt #dyepainting
What Is Normal?
Oof. It's Friday, yes, short week, yes, but holy crap, these short weeks have packed a punch. It's almost a relief to go back to a normal week (except next week is so not normal). What is normal anyway? Not sure. It's rained on and off all week and been cold (hey it's Southern…
I always do 🤪
