Color - Pink

Tropical incredibly pink plant on vacation in Puerto Rico.

Pink, pure unadultrated petunia pink, actually nothing more than the painted edges of a screens at a neighborhood bodega, but beautiful to me because of the intensity of the color.

Black & White Denise Schmidt Quilt

Here are photos of a black & white quilt made last year using a pattern from Denise Schmidt which is available for free on the Free Spirit website. It is also included in her book, "Denise Schmidt Quilts" which is wonderful.

Treehouses in the Park - Tadashi Kawamata

This lovely exhibit by Tadashi Kawamata was recently installed in Madison Square Park, which I view as "my park" since I walk through it twice a day to and from work. It was marvelous to smell the pine boards and watch with wonderment while these works of art were being built high up in the trees. According to the New York Sun, Mr. Kawamata creates "site-specific sculptural installations." Please google him and look at his other works which vary amazingly.

PS - The squirrels in the park seem to love the tree houses as much as I do.

Pink & Brown, Japanese & Batik Quilt

Here are photos of petite quilt I made last year from Japanese and Batik fabrics. This was a wonderful creative experience for me, the two patterns "sang" when placed next to each other. I hand quilted this one using a bright navy thread.

Rectangle Log Cabin Quilt w/Japanese Fabrics

Just completed this quilt for my friends' wedding gift (I believe Miss Manners says you have 1 year to give gift after wedding, right?). This is a rectangle log cabin quilt made from primarily Japanese fabrics, purchased at my favorite store Purl Patchwork in Soho New York. I hand quilted this one at a rate of about 1 square per 2 hours.
