It's Official!

I am officially a member of the C & T publishing crew of authors! My book will be coming out in 2013. Just have to write it, that's all, LOL! So a challenging juggling act is in front of me....but it will be a satisfying one. 

The book will be about my work as a fiber artist who creates fiber art maps. It'll have a few projects and a gallery of work. I will be posting more about this as my journey progresses.

Making Fiber Art Maps at Art Quilt Tahoe....some Student Work: Part 1 

I taught in an extremely well managed, warm and creative setting while at Art Quilt Tahoe week before last. I came away feeling like I had become part of a sisterhood of talented and nuturing  artists.

Can't wait to go back in 2013!

Here are a few images from my fiber art map class called "Favorite Places":
