End of Winter
It’s still wet and drizzly here in Portland, but there are signs that winter is at its end. Tulips emerging. Sprouting daphne buds. And my favorites, peonies, with just their tips showing. Another sign that winter is at its end? The ACC Baltimore Craft Show, it’s always on the last weekend of February. What? You won’t [...]

New Swing for the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show
A new swing coat using a bold, black and white, kimono silk print. The collar shows the fabric as-found. Isn’t it an amazing design? The strips down the front are from the very same fabric. I cut it into narrow strips and then sewed them together with a solid black. This one will be for [...]

Pants, exploring the edge
There is a long tradition of adding a stripe down the sides of pants. It adds pizazz, color, an attitude, sometimes sporty, sometimes formal. And they’re everywhere. When you look, there they are, pants with stripes. My version, Mondrian Pants, the pieced stripe inspired by Piet Mondrian, the master of the grid. Traditionally, they’re found [...]
Dresses for Weddings
The bride is the most important person at a wedding [well, and the groom too!], but the rest of us, the family, the friends, we are all part of it too. What better way to help celebrate than by wearing something special? So I’m adding ‘Dresses for Weddings and Special Occasions’ to my collection. Donilee, Julene [...]
