Greetings to anyone who has found this website.

After years of dragging my feet, my well-intentioned husband has quite easily tripped me by presenting me with a fledgling website.  He and the clever person at the Apple store have become a regular item.  I simply must have a hand in this before he sends it into the ether. 

The primary reason for agreeing to become a web presence is for those of you who would like to take a class with me.  For this I am most grateful.  Teaching folks how to do my variation of shibori gives me great satisfaction.  I don’t teach that often these days, and I realize - for you have told me repeatedly - that it is hard to find out where I am teaching. 

Parenthetically I must explain that I have NOT been playing hard-to-get.  I simply have a love-hate relationship with all things digital.  Actually, the love-hate relationship is with change, or with anything new.  I resent the primacy of computers in our lives (read: my life), just as I hate hate hate the presence of cell phones, text messaging, iPods, Facebook and all electronic entertainment in the lives of our kids - mine specifically, of course.  However, since I have never been reliable with regard to answering snail mail, I will post my meager but very choice teaching schedule online.

So... enough said.  While I am at it, I’ll post some photos of what I’ve been doing lately, as well as a few quilts from my film archives.  This means that I will have to figure out yet ANOTHER piece of technology in order to get my old slides into digital form...  Don’t hold your breath.

Thanks for your interest.
