About Me

I’m an artist who has started quilting as a response to being covid-furloughed from my work as an opera administrator, educator, singer and designer. All posts are cat-approved. Black lives matter.

Meet Ralph

Ralph
Ralph Roister Doister is a giant 12 year old cat we adopted as a kitten from SHAID Tree Shelter in Nova Scotia. He is my constant sewing supervisor. While my husband and I have four other cats, Ralph has always been the most interested in snuggling into my fabric, and my current interest in quilting has delighted him.

My art quilt, “Rise Palimpsest”, has been acce My art quilt, “Rise Palimpsest”, has been accepted for the SAQA Atlantic Canada Region Exhibition “Commotion”. I’m stunned. I heard about SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) in the fall from @lisawaltonartist who was giving a class for Mahone Bay Quilt Guild. I joined. I made a commitment to myself to enter this competition, come hell or high water, not expecting to be accepted, just wanting to challenge myself. It’s like auditioning - you just have to get out there. I knew the theme right away - RESIST AND RISE, but it was a very long process to make it real. Damn. @saqaatlantic @mahonebayquilters #artquilt #blacklivesmatter #subversivequilting #nojusticenopeace

This is Emma. This is her favourite napping spot - This is Emma. This is her favourite napping spot - the quilt box in the hall. When I was packing up a quilt to mail it I left it in its box on the floor here and Emma claimed it. I surreptitiously replaced that quilt with my first quilt and found another box for shipping it so Emma would not be inconvenienced 🙂 #catsonquilts #catsinboxes #torbiesofinstagram
