Here I am at the start of my exhibit, which winds around to the right and spans about 40 feet! I walked the exhibit with visitors and discussed quilts with them. Here I am (center) with Darcy Nicholson (right) and Liz Pierson (left), the amazing Original Sewing and Quilt Expo Team!

My latest book is a mixture of art quilts and poems that reflect my avocations (art quilts, poetry) and my vocation (research and medicine). It's entitled, "The Quilted Art and Poetry of Science." It includes 16 quilts that just began their nine-city, eight-state, one-year tour of the U.S. in Fredericksburg, Virginia, plus 3 other quilts and poems not seen in the exhibit! Here are some pictures of the exhibit at Original Sewing and Quilt Expo in Fredericksburg, September 25-2
