Christmas Trees, 44″ x 53″, Bondville, Vermont, 2023

Radicchio Salad, 58″ x 58″, Bondville, Vermont, 2023.
It's almost the end of the year, and it's really snowing now. Vermont is always beautiful, rain or shine.

The … Continue reading Radicchio Salad, 58″ x 58″, Bondville, Vermont, 2023.
Milo’s Bargello, 8″ x 31″, Bondville, Vermont 2023
Started December 1999, then never finished as I remember feeling like I didn't have the skills to do it right. Milo died in about 2011, so he never got it. I found it in 2023 when I was going through my UFOs and decided to finish it right away and hang it. I love it! … Continue reading Milo’s Bargello, 8″ x 31″, Bondville, Vermont 2023

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
