This is my latest work, Marmalade Skies, created for the Mug Shot portrait art show at Stoneworks Studios and Gallery, Ventura, California on First Friday, April 3, 2015. It is, at its very essence, a scrap quilt. I had a lot of fun putting it together. I finished it in the wee hours of April 1, and when I awoke, I found out that Cynthia Lennon had passed. Kind of cosmic. (I have a public photo album on Facebook, if you’d like to see the show.)

Yesterday afternoon I decided to make a new upcycled and altered dress to wear to the show. I made this in about an hour. Using a serger makes all the difference.
