I thought I’d let you in on a very cool event, especially if you love Bonnie McCaffery & really who doesn’t? She emailed to say that she is offering a large group of her beautiful quilts up for bidding on EBay. She had a previous sale last week and many of those bidding were not quilters, so didn’t realize what a great opportunity this was. Unbelievable as it is, many were purchased for some unheard of prices, a few even $50. or $60 dollars.
As everyone knows [ but I’ll explain it anyway] on Ebay the final amount paid is determined by bidding & with any auction there can be unexpected outcomes. If you happen to be at the right place at the right time, you might just acquire something of value for a bargain price. It could happen, well maybe once in a blue moon.
Well, apparently the blue moon is still on the rise, because Bonnie is determined to make more room. She is doing it again, starting this Monday through Sunday. This is an
opportunity to own a beautiful Bonnie McCaffery quilt, which most of us probably could never afford. Given her being so well known a celebrity in the quilting world, a fabulous quilter & author, with her own show, the value of these will be sure to rise.
So if that blue moon stays up there, from the upcoming Monday to Sunday, get on over to EBay. You just might be able to afford to bid and win a Bonnie McCaffery quilt.
[I’m shamelessly thinking of the bragging rights at your next guild meeting or quilt class, as you nonchalantly mention, ” I do love my new Bonnie McCaffery quilt. You should see her tiny stitches on her applique, quite remarkable” as you casually let fall out of your bag one of her CD’s. I know you would never think of doing that, as you’re too fine a person to brag like that]

About Myself & My Approach
Art has always played a role in my life, in one form or another. by my teens I had narrowed my focus to painting. I decided I was going to become a serious painter. I joined the Las Vegas Artist's Guild at 15, the youngest member at that time. I was completely out of place, I tried to go unnoticed, a mute fly on the wall, with a big smile pasted on my face.
I've continued to paint most of my life.
After a move to Oregon years later, I was introduced to quilting and fell in love.
I was introduced to quilting & fell in love.
In time I missed the creative freedom painting made possible.
Then I discovered mixed media fiber art, I was home.
MY APPROACH TO ART
It's the creative process that holds the greatest attraction for me. Starting with a tiny seed of an idea; vague and blurred around the edges, I follow where that leads. There are often many changes and adjustments along the way. The result can often be surprizing.
My approach is an instinctual one. Generally, I do little pre-planning. I make creative decisions, choices, directions as they present themselves.
This approach can lead to quite a few changes in the direction.
I love that element of surprize!
Sometimes I have one that I especially like, I can't wait to show someone.
At that moment l feel like a six year old, running home from school, a drawing in hand, excited to show Mom. At those times. I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat.
I’ve had some of my work published in several magazines. which is exciting. But the most gratifying thing is having clients be really happy with their purchased art quilt.

That’s great, she asked me to spread the word. I tryed to do so, but for anyone else who can pass it to their circle & they can pass it on. It would be great. Besides, a lot of quilters would really be excited to have a shot at one of her quilts.
