Last Friday, I attended a heartwarming fundraiser for the Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer Research located in Seattle, Washington.  They have been working on ground-breaking biotechnology aimed at curing childhood cancer without the harmful effects of chemotherapy or radiation.

RACC Quilt Acquisition

August 16, 2013

Winter-Eddy-web

Today, Oregon’s Regional Arts and Culture Council purchased my wool quilt, entitled, Winter Eddy, for their Portable Works Collection! Each work in the collection hangs for 6 months to 5 years either in a City of Portland or a Multnomah County building where the public can enjoy it. Winter Eddy was inspired by watching water flow over river rocks during frequent hikes in the Columbia Gorge.

From Lori’s Notebook

  • Allan’s Wings

    Back in the winter of 2021 when my work was featured in What Women Create Magazine, I received a lovely email from Tricia in South Carolina who was touched by the article, enough so that she saved it in her files, knowing that one day she would reach out again.

  • From Lace to Snowflakes

    I was fortunate enough to have met both of my Austrian great-grandmothers.

  • Carmen’s Merienda

    It is always bittersweet when previous clients get back in touch to request a memorial quilt in honor of an additional family member who has passed away.
