Mi Corazón


Tote Tuesday, a Fiberart For A Cause fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, organized by Virginia Spiegel, will open Tuesday, February 2 and continue through March. Mi Corazón (above) is my donation piece for Peggy Schroder's "Have a Heart" tote. See Virginia's website for details. I have also donated copies of The Art Quilt Workbook, Art Quilts at Play and the dvd Jane Davila & Elin Waterston Teach You Art Quilting Basics, but I'm not sure which tote they'll end up in.

A little 411 on Mi Corazón ... I printed the heart (one of my print a day blocks) on a new material, developed for the Italian fashion industry, which is made of recycled paper and plant fibers. This stuff was sent to me by my friend Alex of Aurifil and, as I told Alex, I'm diggin' it! (He's Italian and I like to teach him Americanisms). More to come about this product as I play with it more.

art is ...


Yo. I've been suspiciously absent from the internets so far in twentyten. That's 'cause I've been working on samples for my Art is...you Art Retreat workshops. More info, pictures and official web linkage coming soon, but just to tempt you a little - Art is...you, an annual art retreat now in it's fourth year, will take place October 7th - 11th, in Danbury, CT. Registration begins February 1st.
