Quilt Japan Award!

I attended the wonderful fiber exhibit Quilt Visions in San Diego CA this October. I was awarded the Quilts Japan award for my work The Creative Hand!

Since 1994, Japan Handicraft Instructors' Association and Nippon Vogue Co. Ltd. have sponsored Quilt Japan Award annually. These awards are for the nonprofit contest "Quilt National" and "Quilt Vision", held for American and Japanese quilters friendship.

I will be flying to Japan to teach this coming October!

Kahlil Gibran

A spiritual awakening is often found and developed in a wilderness. It can be a poem or a parable of a deep forest, a mountain meadow or a cactus-studded desert. The outdoor spirit of plein air refreshes and further enables the indoor studio chapel. Each new creative beginning is a confirmation of the simple truth of taking care. And while it may all appear to be self-indulgent and isolating, every thought, every stroke, every caress of the brush adds a small refreshment of meaning and purpose to our universe. "Work is love made visible."
