SOLD!


I just found out my quilt sold! It is a very exciting milestone as an artist, to sell a major work. I have sold small things before but this is a very big step. As much as I love this piece, and I will be sad to say goodbye, I am glad someone will be able to enjoy it forever! It was purchased by a major art collector, who has some very serious pieces in his collection, including some DuBuffet and many famous contemporary artists, so I feel very privileged to be included in such an amazing collection. What a blessing!

Congrats! The only think I sell is shoes, and other stuff, but nothing I've actually made. Good work for you. May there be more to come.

I am so proud of my sweet little itty baby sister! Hooray! You are an artist! Whoohoo! You're gonna be rich! At least rich enough to buy the washer and dryer you need for your new apartment! Who's bringing home the bacon now? Laurie!

That is great! I am just glad that I got in early enough to own some of your originals. I hope all of the wedding stuff is going well.
