QUILTING ARTS TV – SERIES 3200 IS COMING THIS FALL
We shot Quilting Arts TV Series 3200 in July, and it will be out fall 2025. QATV is shown on more than 400 PBS stations across the U.S., as well as CREATE TV, and showcases the work of expert art quilters who explain and teach innovative surface design, construction, embellishment, and hand and machine stitching techniques. Novice and professional art quilters alike can learn something new from the wide variety of topics explored on the show. Details and lots of photos of guests on my QATV webpage.

“WHAT REMAINS” IS IN QUILT NATIONAL ‘25
My work, “What Remains,” (2024) is in Quilt National ’25. It is a digitally-altered photo printed on fabric, then painted, inked, threadsketched, and free-motion machine quilted.
The quilts will be exhibited at The Dairy Barn Arts Center in Athens, Ohio, through Sept. 1, 2025, and then tour through October 2027.
From www.dairybarn.org: "Quilt National aims to demonstrate the transformations taking place in the world of quilting. Its purpose is to carry the definition of quilting far beyond its traditional parameters and to promote quiltmaking as what it always has been — an art form."

“SPROING” IN BOOK "PATCHWORKEN & QUILTEN"
Uta Hanson included my art quilt “Sproing” in her new book, “Patchworken & Quilten: Das Grundlagenbuch” (“Patchwork and Quilting: The Basics Book”). Published in German by Haupt, 2024. From the back of the book: “Uta Hanson presents a variety of techniques in her manual and teaches beginners and advanced quilters everything they need to know – from equipment to modern patchwork, and quilting by hand and machine, to an insight into textile art. This results in quilts that impress with bright colors, minimalist design and free compositions.”
