It’s the height of summer here in the States…vacations, family time, enjoying the out of doors…I know you are busy so just a few quick updates here that might make your summer a little more enjoyable.

My group gallery art show at FOLD LA will be winding up in mid August…this pair of fishermen were caught off-guard with their catch is one of my remaining collage compositions for sale at the gallery…and you don’t have to be there in person to see my work and to buy what strikes your fancy. All the details are here - both preview and sale information.

My two paper quilt collages have been selected for inclusion in the Northwest Collage Society Fall show, “Scroll-ology”. The show opens August 1 at the Rosehill Community Center Art Gallery in Mukilteo, WA and runs until October 30.

I’ve been continuing with purging…my loss is your gain! I have fabric bundles for sale in my Etsy shop for $18 each…each bundle contains at least 10 ounces of quality textiles leftover from many of my sewing projects and creations. These scraps of cotton, linen, vintage and ribbon are great for junk journals, handstitched projects or visible mending. Each bundle is unique and color coordinated - click here to check them out.

it’s been hot, it’s been dry but we have been fortunate that we have been safe from wildfires and weather catastrophes…I hope you are doing well wherever you are.
