I’m weaving!! Wow, it feels so good, nothing like a commission to get the creativity going. A purple guitar strap for someone’s granddaughter.
(shhhh! it’s a gift)
Dawn is a weaver who likes to bring out the whimsy in her handwovens; in either the colors, patterns, or the purpose of the textile.
Each piece she creates is unique in color and design. She is not afraid to ask “what if” of her fibers and looms.

Well it’s springtime at Etsy. Four Etsy artist have included me in their colorful Treasuries! Farragio made a beautiful aqua collection called Aqua Net. HanaMauiCreations made a wonderful Treasury called The Sunrise Around the World. Dawn is doubly happy to be included in that one! A very warm gray/black collection is called OOAK by PilgrimPurse. And a Beautiful Blues Treasury by MirandasLoom, featuring lots of lovely handwovens.
I also put together a new Treasury, handwovens made by members of the Etsy WeaveTeam, it’s called The Colors of Spring. It features some new Etsy friends as well as some of my old favorites! What colors – what inspiration.

The traveling exhibit of the AAQI “Alzheimer’s Illustrated: From Heartbreak to Hope” will be on display at the Hands All Around XIII Quilt Show. This quilt show is March 26&27 in the Mullins Center at the University of Massachusetts – Amherst.
My favorite university, quilt show fun, and a powerful exhibit.

I thought this blog was about weaving?! Yes, there has been a little bit of weaving going on… but, well, I’ve been learning to quilt this year; another delightful textile art. There was already a fabric stash in the house: old fabrics, and lots and lots of rags and jeans for weaving ragrugs. But, quilting requires its own special fabric stash. (yikes!)
What have I been quilting? Some of my creative energy has been going into making small art quilts for the AAQI, the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative. The AAQI sells/auctions these tiny quilts to raise money for Alzheimer’s awareness and research.
Some of the quilts tell a powerful story and some are just tiny pieces of joy. You can find my tiny quilts at # 6028, 6060, 6150, and 6427.
