I'm not someone who likes to involve others in my work, but Julie seems to know exactly when she is needed. When I left the room to get some books to weigh down those bulbous branches of the orange leaf, Miss Julie had already taken care of it.This is the work, after my assistant deemed it ready to sew, of course. It is aptly named "RAMSHACKLE (Revised)" because it is "Ramshackle", revised. It measures about 58"W x 75" H, so it got narrower than the original and longer. I amputated the left side following the "Quilts: Another Dimension" exhibit and have been repositioning the bits and pieces since then. I thought perhaps I'd never be satisfied. Oddly enough, I found a strange little sketch I'd done for it while at a lecture in the very museum it will be hung in during August. Coincidence?

Awesome! I love that your assistant was ready to step in to help with your work! It turned out great!!
Hey,
When I think that the last piece you did was your best you prove me wrong each and every time. Your assistant has the best job. Give her an extra treat for me. You biggest fan.
Sonji your work is so wonderful! It inspires me. What is even more inspiring is the fact that you have a 'day job'. I am always squeezing in time,or lately, balancing things so I can create/play as much as possible. I am so glad you share your journey.
