Projects will be conducted via E-mail and will include traditional quilting,
wall art and weaving. "The House of Zsuxxa" focuses on textile arts. I've
made textile arts my life, and have wandered many paths that include:
computerized machine embroidery, all facets of quilting (traditional and
avante guarde), weaving, knitting, crochet, and smocking. Two new galleries
are now in the premier state. The Student Gallery will focus on my students'
creations. The Weaver's Attic will introduce you to loomed rag rugs and
woven wall hangings. If you are interested in weaving and would like more
information on looms, hit the hot spot for direct Email.

The
Batik Floral is a class based on the series of Kumiko Sudos' books.
Dimensional flowers were created from origami folds and traditional
English dimensional techniques. I found myself working exclusively
with the popular wax resist Batiks and found them most wonderful for
needleturn applique. There will be future student gallery entrees
that are from the Sudo series. If you are in Southern California stop
in for a class.

| Months
ago I was inspired by the book Harmonies and Hurricanes, by Kumiko Sudo.
While working through a textile art using oriental fabrics, I thought
I'd pick up a Watercolor UFO and add more blossoms. With wonder under
and tacky glue I began the creation, "Manna". After months of cutting
and arranging the project is now completed. Maggie Adams, Madams Q, creatively
quilted "Manna" in a way which makes the blossoms three dimensional. If
you live in Southern CA or plan a visit, "Manna" is now on display at
Encinitas Sew & Vac, Encinitas, Ca. A special thanks to all website viewers
that have attended classes while vacationing in California.
