Hello friends!  It's only the end of March and I've already had FOUR art teaching and video shooting trips under my belt. (and you wonder why you hardly ever hear from me, LOL!)  Lots of surprises coming this year!

Most exciting, right this minute, My new book "The Art of Whimsical Stitching" is out and shipping, ready for you to "sew your art out"!  I can't wait to see what you create with fabric, paint, needles and thread.

I am so blessed to partner with so may amazing people from several companies who believe in me, and are top notch in making creative, innovative, incredible experiences for our artful audience.
