Incredible Edible
I happened upon an old photograph the other day, a reminder – Years ago my family and friends (an artsy and creative bunch!) would hold theme parties called Incredible Edibles. The idea was to bring something that was indeed visually incredible while at the same time edible. I don’t remember very many of the creations… Continue reading Incredible Edible
What to do with a stain…
I had a white t-shirt that had a small permanent spot on it so I decided to paint it. I got it completely wet and dunked the hem in a watered down gray acrylic paint and let the paint creep up. Well, I couldn’t see the spot any longer but the shirt looked flat. So… Continue reading What to do with a stain…
Pressing station
Recently I needed to replace my ironing broad canvas so I decided to take a few photos to show my ironing board and area.

Fabric Hearts
Many years ago I made hand painted fabric pins. Seeing as it is February I thought I would share this batch of painted hearts. Some pictured are works in progress; the ones on the hoop are finished. Not a very clear photo… taken before digital!
That’s one way to document a quilt…
Some things happen in life (and in the lives of those we care about) that cause us to stop, step back and take a walk down memory lane. I found this photograph the other day.When I began quilting years ago my kids were toddlers. As you can see in the photograph they were very supportive… Continue reading That’s one way to document a quilt…
