2025 update: with enough rosettes to finally lay out the quilt on the design wall, I realize how much more there is to do! I don't think it's more year, but more months to go. All internal rosettes are complete! I love how it look like a clockwork. Now I can decide in advance what … Continue reading La Mia Passacaglia (La Pas), In Process

Alice Nova, 54″ x 54″, Vermont, April 2023
