QUILTFOLK MAGAZINE
Quiltfolk magazine's next issue is about North Carolina, and I'm so excited that I'm going to be featured in it! I baked these NC cookies (that's our state flag design) for the camera and writing crew who came to visit me in mid April.
Quiltfolk is a beautifully produced ad-free 180-page magazine that's really more like a series of books. Four are created each year. The NC issue should be out in July.

BLUE WATER FILM FESTIVAL
I'm pleased to have been chosen as the 2022 Featured Artist for the 2022 Blue Water Film Festival. They are using my piece, "Net of Wonder," on their poster. The festival, held June 2-8, 2022, “encourages attendees to think broadly about how climate change affects planet Earth and think deeply about the universal concerns and actions needed to bring us into balance.”

I'm featured on Lisa Walton’s “Quilt Stories”
I was interviewed by Lisa Walton for her YouTube series “Quilt Stories,” and shared how I made my art quilt “I'll Fly Away” for “We Are The Story,” a multi-site exhibition curated by Carolyn Mazloomi, and presented by the Textile Center and Women of Color Quilters Network.
