Fabric postcard thank you note

Look how cute this is! My friend Mary made a fabric postcard and sent me a thank you note. I love the way she used the selvage strips to create the diagonals.









And now that US postage stamps have adhesive on the back, they stick to fabric so much better!

The selvage quilt makes a guest appearance

Just a quick post to thank Karen Griska over at Selvage Blog for her post featuring my selvage quilt. I'm very honored to be featured among the fantastic selvage creations Karen finds.

Jim and I are just back from four days in Boston. Posts and pictures to follow soon.

"Putting it together"--My selvage quilt

One of the neatest blogs I've visited lately is called the Selvage blog. The highly creative work of Karen Griska really appeals both to my artistic and frugal sensibilities. She's inspired me to share a piece I did for my last one woman show in Crawfordsville called "Putting it together". It was named after one of my favorite Stephen Sondheim songs from "Sundays in the Park with George." It's about the creative process--"the art of making art" as Sondheim so brilliantly puts it.

I used to wind huge balls of selvage and finally decided to try knitting with it. You can see some of the printing in this detail.

I love the strong textural quality of this piece.

Today is our Multicultural Fair at school. Team India was very excited yesterday afternoon when we were setting up our booth. It should be an extremely fun filled day.
