Maybe you've already seen this on Ms Quilting Arts, Pokey Bolton's blog. Maybe you already did and want to watch it again. It was the Saturday night Make It University Surviving the Runway 80s Style challenge and we all got quite carried away. I served as the "Tim Gunn" for the group, "Make it work!" See what lengths art quilter Kathy York was willing to go to […]

It's the latest, greatest book on the market and today we have the amazing author and Quilting Arts/Cloth Paper Scissors editor, Cate Prato herself making a guest appearance here at Art Heart. Today it's my turn to interview the […]
A New Quilt? A TAP Perhaps?
I looked over at the transparencies drying on my bed and saw a quilt. Not that I'd ever make one out of transparencies, but the repetition of the pattern on each page and the muted colors just jumped out at me as a lovely addition to my bedroom. It cries for color. We have yet to paint it. I don't mind white walls, but […]
Goodie Box
Just a quick note to share my goodie box. A package arrived on Friday and I just got around to opening it up this morning. It's my set of Claudine Hellmuth's new STUDIO line of artist paints, brushes and canvas. Look at those yummy colors, with names like Altered Orange, Dab of Yellow and Touch of Red. We will be […]
This past week month has been crazy. I still cannot fathom how my life gets busier instead of calmer. What am I doing wrong? Right now the only me time I am getting is my 3 hour oasis in my abstract painting class each Sunday. This is my painting from last Sunday. But the time […]
Previews on You Tube
Quilting Arts Workshop has uploaded previews of their new DVDs onto You Tube. I guess I am culturally current now if I am on You Tube – twice even. The other one, on Lutradur, can be seen here. The quality on the actual DVDs is much better than what is on You Tube. There is an option below the You Tube screen […]
Goodbyes and New Beginnings
In my last post I said I'd post "tomorrow". Never say "tomorrow" when you are as busy a woman as I am. These days just whisk on by and before you know it, a week has passed. Children bearing grandchildren come, daughters have birthday parties and houses need that final cleanout before settlement. Yes! we […]
I have never considered making digital art real art. Although it most certainly is, I just need to have that hands on, paint under my nails or fabric and thread running through my fingers to feel like I'm really making something. But sit me at my computer with a few (or 100) photos and Photoshop […]
