T-Shirt Quilts!
I had one of those "brilliant ideas" that don't seem so great when you think about how obvious they are.... I'm making some quilts out of t-shirts. It's really fun because t-shirts have pictures on them and they say things and they are easier to find than sweaters and they come in so many colors! Look I found a little baby outfit with little rabbits opening a mailbox!! The other photo is just some sewn blocks lined up on the table. The quilt isn't put together yet.......
Some examples of my dishes.
Today's scarves #12,13,14,15.
I have started an exciting new contest on my Facebook page. Check it out. It involves guessing and people and prizes.
Back from Seattle. Today's scarves are #9,#10,#11.
This is a cake quilt I made about ten years ago. Next to it is a figure drawing of "Joe" from college days. They look pretty good together.
Happy Spring everybody. Here is a photo of the first three scarves of 2013. Just a couple hundred to go.........
So far I know I'll be at the KIA art fair in Kalamazoo June 7&8
Here are some of the Poem of the Month Club (POTMC) poets' portraits from the past year. I'm going to make postcards with these drawings and one of their poems. I'll put some on Etsy when they get done.

"My studio is in my kitchen, so I can make things and cook at the same time. I love combining the old and the new. I use unwanted dishes and sweaters -- this lets me make something out of nothing. And I get to go to thrift stores, which combines business with pleasure!"
