Vacancy at the Design Motel

About me

Location	United States
Introduction	I enjoy everything ART. It is like oxygen to me. A field trip, book, magazine, blog, chat with an arty friend, studio day , seem to find their way into each of my days. My passion is fiber art and contemporary, modern quilt design. I should have known that sooner than I did, because a long time ago, as a teenager, I wanted to be a textile designer. When modern quilting showed up in my life in the early 2000’s, I saw that connection in my rear view mirror. I see modern quilt design as a form of textile design. My hope for this blog is to expand all of our design horizons, and to begin what I shall call The Arty Adventure Highway. My “finds” along the way are the core of this blog- that will get us all behind the wheel to discover some wonderful, arty stuff. In the start of 2010, I decided to say yes to all things arty. It lead to rekindling friendships, new friendships, business opportunities, inspirations, my studio, a new guild devoted to Modern Quilting, and most of all JOY became part of this year-long discovery. As this new year embarks, I want to continue this journey with you, each year forward. Look! There is a vacancy at the Design Motel! What luck!
