As I shared in my last post about the Dash & Albert Rug Design Competition (click the link to see what it’s all about), I used an antique coverlet as the starting point for the designs.

Friday art date

antique “art cabinet”
I have been pushing towards a few deadlines over the last several weeks and, while it’s all been fun work, I was really ready for a change of pace! Jeff gave me a chance to get away on Saturday, so I went on a trek to HomeGoods and to a local antique shop. I am almost always shopping for things to … Read More
