What I SHOULD be doing is dyeing scarves and making notelets and bags for my next show (April). OR charging ahead and making skyscrapers or bird houses, newly inspired…

Inspiration: Melody Johnson, Artist Extraordinaire!
One of the things I’d like to do with this blog is pay homage to the people who inspire me. So I’ll occasionally devote a post to a person and how their work has inspired and influenced mine! And for me, the 1st person to begin with is Melody Johnson. And specifically, this quilt: I…
