The Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game inspired this series of nine art quilts. It was the use of a spectrum of moral and ethical perspectives for character development that caught my attention. And then how to represent them visually. There are two basic choices: the character’s view on law versus chaos and good versus evil. Both options also have a middle-ground of neutral. Plot these choices on a grid, and there are nine possibilities for your character’s “alignment.” Thinking about what “lawful” or “chaos” might look like was challenging and great fun.


D&D Alignment Quilts, 31″ x 31″ framed, $900 each. Please contact me for more information.

My recent cataract removal surgery left me astonished by the changes in color and clarity in my vision. So I did the only reasonable thing and made some little quilts to illustrate the changes. The differences were especially stark after I had one eye corrected and was awaiting the second. The central circle of Clarity […]

Ah, late summer … cooler mornings and homegrown tomatoes. And those tomatoes always get me singing along with Guy Clark’s “Homegrown Tomatoes.” Don’t know the song? Listen here.Then grab yourself a homegrown tomato, fresh basil and mozzarella … slice ’em up and sprinkle with some good olive oil, your favorite balsamic vinegar, and a little […]

Did you know this is the International Year of the Periodic Table? It’s the 150th anniversary of Dmitri Mendeleev’s discovery of the periodic system and its time to celebrate! As my contribution, I will be sewing mini quilts for the first 100 elements as my #the100dayproject. I’ve decided on Alison Glass’ Kaleidoscope solids for my […]

Last summer I took a class in improvisational quilting taught by Lynn Carson Harris. Like any improv, you work without a plan, keep saying yes, and keep building. Small blocks of fabric quickly came together. Then fit together to make a whole, adding and filling in as necessary. Then I was urged to hand quilt […]

I was surprised and honored to be selected as Newton Art Association’s Artist of the Month for April! When I joined the association I was quite intimidated by the quality of artists and aware of the “if it’s a quilt, is it really art?” controversies. But it’s a lovely group and has provided so many […]

As part of their coverage of Newton Open Studios, I was interviewed in this week’s Newton TAB! Fun and a little bit frightening to see myself on front page of the paper. Not sure if I will have any jokes to share at Newton Open Studios (stitches, get it? oh my … I didn’t write […]

The Museum at FIT announced an online exhibit entitled “Wearing Memories.” I immediately thought of my childhood friend, our sewing adventures, and the fabulous patchwork smocks we made. As a 60th birthday gift to me I had resolved to say “yes’ to life and she gifted me with this “yes” necklace. The greatest gift, though, […]
