Show results and new work!

The Atascadero Wine Festival was such a great experience and a terrific day, tho' a bit on the warm side. Attendance was terrific even with the temperature being high. (O.K., so high is high? They were icing the RED WINES!!!)

I met a lot of people who had never experienced my form of quilt art. The idea that I use found, non-fabric materials and artifacts was very intriguing to many people. I had two leads on future commissions which was a perfect end for the day. That kind of exposure is hard to come by and is usually found only when showing in a gallery or by word of mouth.

BTW, we raised money for the Charles Paddock Zoo, the only zoo located in all of San Luis Obispo County.

Here is a smaller piece I have just finished:

Showing at the Atascadero Wine Festival

A unique, boutique wine festival that does more than offer a fun day in the sun! The Atascadero Wine Festival is a terrific fundraiser for the Charles Paddock Zoo in Atascadero as well as other local programs. If you love a well-tended, caring zoo perfect for kids of all ages and have an appreciation for fine wine, this is the wine fest for you!

Besides featuring 85 of the finest local wineries of the Central Coast pouring at the park by the lake, over 20 fine artists and vendors will be on hand for a fine day adventure. I will be showing some of my latest art quilts as well as having lovely quilted handbags and quilted postcards. Come join us:
