Sorry it's been so long since the last post. Thanks for hanging in there with me and sending emails. Unfortunately, my arm and neck became so painful, I had to stop typing and using a mouse. I switched to a trackball mouse and absolutely love it. Unfortunately, the problem hasn't really disappeared, it's slowly moving through my body, creating havoc wherever it decides to stop. I'm visiting a kinesiologist regularly and hope to have this cleared up very soon.
If anyone is going to the quilt show in Long Beach this week, keep an eye out for my "Smoked Out" quilt in the West Coast Wonders special exhibit. It will also be traveling to Houston and Chicago and will return home sometime next year. I will be in Long Beach, but would appreciate photos of my quilt in Houston and Chicago.
I took a 5 day workshop with the fabulous Rayna Gillman at Quilters Studio. After 3 days of being together, Rayna and I were finishing each others sentences. 
Here's a piece that I designed during a quick (15 minute) study. The crazy hand-painted fabric was a gift from my buddy, Andi Perejda.
Here's a piece of screen-printed fabric that I chopped up and put back together. Both pieces are off to a good start, but definitely need more work. Hopefully, I will get back to work / play soon!

We chatted like as if we have known each other for years! It was a great group of talented women and I enjoyed the whole experience. A huge thank you to Pam and Stan for inviting me to stay in their home. We went out for a great Mexican dinner and plenty of Margaritas! Pam, please send me your email address.

Sorry you are in so much pain. I will look for your quilt. A 5 day workshop with Rayna...WOW, that had to be fabulous.
Yes, it was wonderful to finally get to meet you in person! And, thank you for showing me all your wonderful art and even sharing a couple of "tools".
I'm sorry to hear you're having a health issue, but hope, as you say, that it is resolved very soon!
Maybe I'll see you in Long Beach!
Sorry you're in pain. It really interfers with life.
The pieces look like it was a special workshop.
Get well soon. You are in all our thoughts and prayers. The workshop sounds amazing.
These are wonderful! Can't wait to see what you do with your newest lessons once you are back up to speed.
I just discovered your blog and am enjoying your favorite quotes as well as your art. Too bad the one about forgetting about troubles by putting on some tight shoes couldn't work for your pain! Feel better!
