Spirit Wings

This is the first day of my 6 month online Angel Painting Class.  I wonder where this path will take me?

Jill's Quilt

I designed, pieced and machine quilted my first Kaffe Fassett quilt for Jillian. There is a small heart cut from her baby blanket stitched on the back.

Enjoy your quilt and good luck in Speech Therapy School Jill!

For the love of quilts.....

Nana pieced the rainbow blocks years ago.

Karen added purple and white and put a modern spin on it.

Meg, the brand new college graduate, gets a brand new quilt for her new life!

Finding a Mentor - at any age....

It doesn't matter how old you are - we all need mentors. Here I am with my daughter Meg and my mentor, Allison Wilbur at her recent Fiber Art Exhibit in Warren, RI .  She is a talented Quilter and Social Activist who has sparked my interest in all forms of quilting and I'm lucky to have such a wonderful and generous person cheering me on.

Playing with Cloth and Paints

Who says only kids can have play dates? My friend, Suzanne, and I spent the afternoon in her studio playing and experimenting with our Gelli Plates and Paints.  Here are some of the fruits of my labor.

I'll post again when I decide what to make with the printed fabric.

Jamestown, RI - Rose's Island Lighthouse

Morning on the Lake.

There is nothing more peaceful for my state of mind than relaxing on the deck of our favorite Maine Lake. Where is your spot to find peace and quiet?

Back to the barn...

I love shooting old barns around New England. This one was attached to a country breakfast place that served Buckwheat Pancakes - Heritage Pancake House, Sanbourton, NH. My husband Bud has been on the hunt for Buckwheat Pancakes for many, many years.   He was one happy camper!

Summer is here!

Waterfire last saturday night in Providence. 

Father's Day in Portsmouth, NH

We spent the day in Portsmouth, NH. First stop - 10k road race, Second stop - Market Square Day. Here we are showing off our "wicked awesome" tattoos!

After the rain.....

Late Spring is so beautiful in the garden. The greens are vibrant, the peonies are starting to bloom, and nature is amazing, particularly in a macro shot after it rains.

The Duckboats are out - it must be Spring!

I had to make a trip to Boston and walked through the Boston Common the other day. The iconic duckboats were taking piles of tourists around the pond on a gorgeous, sunny day.

Spring Flowers

The power of flowers cannot be over emphasized here! These beauties are enough to brighten anyone's day, yes?

Sand Man!

This sleeping Troll is made out of sand! The center attraction at the recent RI Flower Show was a crew recreating an entire scene of a troll village. It was really amazing!

Dreaming of Waterfire...

I'm getting really tired of this long, dreary winter, so I dug up this photo I took last summer of Waterfire. I'm remembering the good time we had wandering up and down the river soaking it all in.....

Can't Get Enough Green!

Finished my quilting project just in time for St. Patty's Day! I just can't get enough green!

A Downton Abbey Night

Tina and I enjoyed a fun night of celebrating and learning 1920's style at the Downton Abbey event at WGBH studios.

Spring Fever in Philadelphia

We went to visit our youngest daughter in Philly and with the weather reaching 60 degrees, it was a nice day to walk around the Antique Row Neighborhood and take in the sights of this area.
