Although they weren’t able to hold the in person Baltimore Craft Show this year, the American Craft Council has put together an online show they’ve entitled ‘Baltimore Craft Week‘. I am so happy that I’ll be participating! It will start this Monday, April 12th for American Craft members. Membership is an easy way to help support the ACC. If you’re not yet a member, you can sign up here.
After the member preview day, the show will open for the public on the 13th and continue through the rest of the week to next Sunday, April 18th.

The platform allows for 15 pieces for each artist. As one sells I’ll add another in it’s place so be sure and check back.
I’ve added a number of new pieces, including the brightly colored jacket I was working on in my last post. In honor of the season, I’m calling it ‘Spring Out.’

A celebration with bright clear colors for Spring. The back.

There’s one more jacket I’ve been working on. It’s close,…. but not quite finished.
A few days ago it was a pile of skinny blocks sewn from different whites and cream kimono silks interspersed with bright dots of color.

Below, as it is so far, the front, in my size petite.
Not quite ready for its debut, but in a day or two, as soon as it’s finished, I’ll have it up and on the Baltimore Craft Week website.

Check it out! My work will be there with close to 200 other artists selling their wares. It’s going to be great!
Although you’ll have to wait until Monday, here’s a direct link to my page here.
The colors and patterns of your new jacket are startling but at the same time pleasing to my eye. I like it! It augers a bright new beginning after Covid.
Thank You Susan! Yes! These new pieces are all about new beginnings.
Truly amazing! How long did it take you to make the jacket on the cover?
Thank You Barbara! My jackets with lots of piecing take awhile! Choosing the fabric, cutting and sewing, recutting and resewing. Then I join the blocks together so that they form a whole. I almost always realize that I need to adjust and redo different parts to make the whole work together. Then I cut out the jacket and finally sew it into its final form.
