As is my custom, I stopped into Maria’s Studio on Friday for my weekly sneak peek at her new art. Since she’s not into promoting herself, I try to do some of it. It’s sincere; I think she’s pretty talented.

I was not disappointed.

There is a beautiful and soft new quilt called “Under The Sea,” an artistic tribute to life under the water. It just went up for sale today.

Plus, 10 new “Scrap Bin” potholders are up on her Etsy Studio Page.

The quilt costs $425 plus shipping; the potholders are $22 plus shipping.

They are bright and cheerful, as potholders tend to be.

We had a fun video despite her being in a grumpy mood and me getting over a stomach sickness, a gift, we think, of my brush with Covid.

Here’s the video we took. I’m not unbiased, but I really loved it. Maria has captured the dreamy, soothing feel of the ocean. And shows how she makes her art.

It was great fun, and I loved seeing Maria — arms wheeling around – talk about how she shaped and changed this quilt as she made it. It’s a beautiful process and beautiful thing.

This is a close-up of a part of her quilt, “Under The Sea.

Ten new potholders are up on Etsy. They were made from the scrap bin pile, aptly named “Scrap Bin Potholders.” $22 plus shipping; you can see them and buy them here.
