New Work: Christmas Cactus
I sure had fun making my latest quilt, Christmas Cactus. Inspired by my own beautiful plant I wanted to capture the cascading blossoms and wondered if I could do so in an abstract way. After some auditioning I decided I could use one repeated shape - SPARINGLY - to do the trick. I'm really loving it!

Art on TOUR

Yes, I finally have work going to a real live in-person show! My piece, Croton Trio, will be on display in Melbourne, FL throughout the month of March. It's part of the 100% Pure Florida exhibit at Fifth Avenue Art Gallery, 1470 Highland, Ave., Melbourne, FL. Show dates are March 1-27.

Maybe this is a good opportunity for a road trip. Contact me if you want suggestions of things to do in the area.
50% Off Featured Quilt

Since my inventory of quilts is steadily growing, I've decided to dramatically lower the price of one quilt each month. But, the sale price will be in effect only until the last day of that month.

This month, the featured quilt is Taking Flight. It's made with silk scraps given to me by Judith Content, along with a little bit of ultra suede.The sale price - for March only - is $395. Full details here
See my Fabric Dyeing Space

When the fabric dyeing bug bites I convert my sewing space to a dyeing space. I leave it that way for about two weeks, so I try to get a lot done to make up for inability to sew during that time.

I've just uploaded a video showing my dyeing set up. Follow the link, or when hunting for it in the future, go to Learn with Ellen (on my website) and then select Videos.
What's New

Check out the awesome quilt made by Nancy Lipsey in my Design Your Own Nature Quilt class. Isn't it amazing? And this was number two of two pieces she accomplished in class! (That's not the norm, even though I always offer the option.) You've probably read it before: this is my favorite class to teach, because the students do SUCH great work AND they learn skills and gain confidence that will serve them well moving forward.
