Back in 2003 I made a quilt for our bed. We recently remodeled the bathroom which meant some redecorating in the bedroom and it was time to replace the first quilt.
I wanted to make something that had large blocks so it would go together quickly, I didn't want to buy any new fabric so I had to use fabric I already had, and I wanted to coordinate with the new rugs which were cream, brown, gray, and blue-gray.
"It's Owl Good" framed fabric piece handmade by Pam Geisel in December 2024
There's a new lobby show up at Village Artisans and it's called "Black & White + 1." The challenge was to make a piece that had the colors black and white then one third color of the artist's choice.I looked through my stash of black and white fabrics and found a small bit of Robert Kaufman's Effervescence (Gradation Gray) which also had a bit of brown in it, so with brown as my third color I made this great horned owl and framed it for the show.
The lobby show can be seen at Village Artisans, 100 Corry St. in Yellow Springs, Ohio, through March 5, 2025 M-Th 11-5, F-Sa 11-6, and Su noon-5.
"Half the Sky" art quilt by Pam Geisel plus other artwork
There's a "Women in Art" show at Art + Craft Hair Salon and I have all three of my "Granny Squares" quilts in the show. This is the first time these three art quilts have been shown together (outside of my home, and sometimes there they're not even in the same room together).
You can see my pieces plus work from other women artists at the hair salon, 253 Xenia Ave in Yellow Springs, through the end of December 2024. The salon is open M-F from 9-5.
If you stop in, be sure to tell Meghan how much you like the colors that she puts in my hair.

There's a new lobby show up at Village Artisans and it's called "Peace on Earth." I made these two small framed pieces for the show.
"Piece by Peace" is 7" x 7" and features a white peace sign on a rainbow colored background which is made in a mosaic style. A piece of tulle covers the piece and is sewn down with a white thread.
"Joy" spells out the word JOY with each letter on two colored squares and covered with a sheers fabric that has sparkles on it. The background batik fabric is rainbow colored dots on a dark gray background.
The lobby show can be seen at Village Artisans, 100 Corry St. in Yellow Springs, Ohio, from November 15 through January 7, 2025 M-Th 11-5, F-Sa 11-6, and Su noon-5.
Rainbow Piano Keyboard, 10" x 29" and Piano Keyboard, 10" x 34", handmade by Pam Geisel
I made these the Rainbow Piano Keyboard table runners for the "Fused" Fiber & Glass" two-person collaborative show that I'm having at Village Artisans (on view from September 13 through November 5, with an artist reception on Friday, September 13 from 6–8 pm), and the black and white one at the same time although it will not be in the show. The rainbow one uses hand-dyed fabric. And while I made them as table runners, they both have a hanging sleeve on the back and can hang on the wall (hanging stick not provided).
I made these six pieces that I call Button Flowers for the "Fused" Fiber & Glass" two-person collaborative show that I'm having at Village Artisans (on view from September 13 through November 5, with an artist reception on Friday, September 13 from 6–8 pm).
Each piece is 6" x 6" and wrapped around a canvas frame.
Each one features a 3D flower with a button, multiple buttons, or buttons with beads in the center.
