Art in the Garden was a great show





The art show at Garden Delights in Sylvania on Saturday June 13 was a great success! The rain held off and the sun was shining for a lot of the day. I sold two of my newest creations early in the day. Now I need to get busy and make some more of those styles. Here are some pictures of the show. The blue jacket that I am wearing is one of the newest designs and is made from a silk and cashmere pashmina, very comfy to wear and easy to care for. The grey and beige pieced wool jacket contains several pieces of wool that I found in Ireland. So soft and warm. This is one of my favorite shows of the year. I currently have no shows scheduled until fall and am looking forward to lots of studio time.

Summertime



Time just seems to fly by. In March I went to New York for a few days and found some wonderful new fabrics and trims for my jackets. In April I was lucky enough to travel for 2 weeks in Ireland looking for wool and inspiration for new designs.
Now I am back and trying to get some new things made for the upcoming shows.


Here is one of my new designs for summer. I have been working with some beautiful upholstery fabrics and am very pleased with the results.

This is one of my pieced wool jackets made for a special order. The yellow and black makes a striking combination.


After a recent reorganization of my studio I am anxious to get busy on new creations.
