#ArtAdventCalendar Day 5/ Quilt week 
To celebrate my #divorce (7 yrs ago now), I made myself a quilt. It took me a few years to complete (and this pic was taken before I actually quilted it!). And I just love love love it— the colors and the design— a wonky log cabin style. #quilting #ModernQuilting #FabricArts #quilter #sewing
#ArtAdventCalendar Day 4/ Quilt week 
This was my first real improv quilt. It’s a wonky shape and definitely not practical (it’s about 10”x24”). I suppose it falls into the #ArtQuilt realm. I think it evokes a journey of some sort. What does it remind you of?

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 3/ Quilt week 
I made this quilt a few years ago, as part of a #ModernQuiltGuild member swap. Improv (no pattern) and scraps.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 1/ Quilt week
Kicking off this project with some festive red mini quilts. Some people call them coasters so they’re practical, not just cute. Upcycling scraps is one of my favorite pastimes. #quilting #ModernQuilting #FabricArts #quilter #sewing
An Introduction:
I’m a #TechnicalEditor living in Texas who enjoys reading #nonfiction and #sewing, particularly #quilting (#ModernQuilting) and nongarment items at the moment. I have a #RagdollCat named BC (for Brown Cat). I’m a U.S. Army veteran who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. My pronouns are she/her.
Another side of my creative endeavors: improvisational quilting! That means I don’t use a pattern or pre-plan a design; I sew on the fly. Love me some up-cycling of scraps and old garments/linens. Here are some rainbow mini-quilts I made (custom order). (Yeah I have an Etsy shop.)
