Pillows, Paperwork, Policies, Painful Lessons, & Printers

Last week of ACC Baltimore Show Prep

After last week’s crazy packing and shipping stress, we had a moment of victory/relief once the pallet was on the truck. And then it was on to the next wave of “to-do’s”: the paperwork. (Status update: the pallet was in PA yesterday and expected to arrive in VT […]

Da Booth, #719 at American Craft Council Baltimore Show

Dry Run in the Living Room

With just a few weeks to go before show time, last week was all about setting up the booth and figuring out display(s) for the wholesale and retail shows, and making a list of everything we still needed (tools, tape, biz supplies, etc.) to add to our shipment.

We’re having a party and baby, it’s warm in here

This Saturday, December 7th from 12-7pm, all snowy roads lead to our Hanna-Gilhooly Holiday Open House….

Our home is our gallery and studio spaces combined. We’re bustling about getting our works arranged just so….

Did anyone get the number of that bus?

Being a bit on the introvert side of the continuum, it takes me awhile to recover from a 2 day/14 hour long weekend open studio event. I’m thrilled that we had nearly 200 people come see our studios, and even happier that I was able to have some great conversations with so many visitors. Seems […]

A Gorgeous Day at Horseshoe Spring Market

My "Hanna-Dyed" booth at Horseshoe Market

Loads of sunshine, and more dogs, children, and pregnant women than I’ve ever seen in one day in my life – pretty much sums it up. Seriously, if you love dogs (and I do, especially one large brown chessie-lab mix), this was a great place to be!

What’s on the Long Arm Wednesday and Horseshoe Market this Saturday!

"A&B" (in progress) – one of 8 textile paintings currently on the long arm machine

I use my long arm machine a bit differently than most who have them – rather than quilt large functional quilts, I put a huge backing fabric and layer of batting on the frame, then layer (like […]

Did someone say pillows?

Yes siree, the Hanna-Dyed line of domestic goods is expanding….and now includes Pillows!

These are handmade from pieces of hand-printed 100% pimatex cotton which absorbs dye beautifully.

"Geometric Layers" pillows by Hanna-Dyed (18" and 16" hand-printed cotton with faux down inserts)

Printed using the oh-so-much-fun deconstructed screen-printing process, each piece is a one-of-a-kind […]
