fabric painting + printing + stuff like that

Hello out there in blogland. I've been a busy little bee lately. Last week I taught two, count 'em two, Paint + Print on Fabric workshops - first at The Weaving Center, in Tarrytown, NY; then for the Greater Hartford Quilt Guild, in Berlin, CT. Much fun was had by all. Here's what it looked like...

365: Make Something Every Day

Some of y'all might remember that I spent 2008 making a block print a day. This adventure was largely inspired by my brilliant friend Noah and his Skull-A-Day project. Noah has a new book out called 365: Make Something Every Day and Change Your Life! (available at independent book stores and here). I'm honored to be featured in the book and on Noah's 365 blog .

I've lost count of how many snow storms we've had so far this year. As I type, my driveway is racking up the inches. I've been thinking a lot about Florida...

Won't you linger, let me run my fingers through your hair?
Won't you stay? I can't play like I don't care.
I think you're dope, and I hope I'm making myself clear.
I think you're fly and that's why I'm getting out of here.
