Fun Faces in Ink... caricature portrait class where I bring sample heads, noses, mouths, etc that you can mix and match into a fun wacky portrait of whomever you like for inclusion in a quilt, wall hanging, placemat, etc.
Big Cats at Sea... Closeup images of tigers and lions... or frankly, you can paint anything you really want.
"The Art Of Quilting" .. Whether a quilter or a top maker, you'll learn how to plan the quilt line and thread choices.

Teaching April 3 - 8, 2012 at Asilomar


Some months ago, I was asked to teach at Asilomar in 2012. I am thrilled to finally say the contract is signed and back in my possession. It's a go! I'm excited for at least 3 reasons...
1) Heck.... It's Asilomar... How great is that?!... on the beach in Monterey,
California territory. Sweet!
2) It's 5 days of dedication to Painting AND Quilting the Arts. Heaven!
3) It's 5 days of time with quilters of like interest. That's always thrilling!
The date is April 3 - 8, 2012. I hope to see some of you there!!!
