Living with an artist can be a roller coaster at times, a soap opera at others, or a wonderful insight into how creativity really works, the part that most art lovers never get to see but which is an integral and fascinating part of my life.
This beautiful quilt has already lived several lifetimes, and the drama seems to be over, with a very happy ending. Along the way…well, that’s for another time. This is a wonderful peek into the creative mind and a little movie about why I love Maria so much. She is honest about everything, especially her art.
Something is always happening around her; the yellow studio is always swaying in the wind or jumping up and down, and it is always a treat to see it close up. Come along.

Maria’s new quilt has the feel of a Tibetan monastery which is a very good thing!
Love the border blocks. It made the whole quilt come together.
Maria is truly an artist. She instinctively knows when something ‘just isn’t right’ in her work and after letting her mind mull it over during the night – she has found her answer. And just FYI, I totally agree with the change that she made 🙂
