I’m looking forward to sharing the photograph and fiber/fabric pieces, that other artists have given me permission to share, in an upcoming blog post. For now I’ll give you a little look in to the piece I’m working on for that blog post. I’m not going to show it with the photograph until the piece… Continue reading Work in Progress

Memory Lane Landscapes
More fun findings… While going through my studio file cabinet I discovered photos and pieces from my miniature landscape class and earlier. The photos were from long ago, before digital photos, I sure wish I had better photos some of these pieces. I’m so happy for digital now! I can see now every little thing… Continue reading Memory Lane Landscapes
Hand Painted Fabric Giveaway
As I continue to clear out drawers and cupboards I’d like to thank everyone for stopping by, for commenting to enter the giveaways, and for helping me re-home some of my artistic pieces. I used to have a large paint/wet area in my studio, but my Mister decided to park the car in there and… Continue reading Hand Painted Fabric Giveaway
A Little Furry Fun
I’ll start by letting you know that I’ll be announcing another giveaway next week. May got away from me! Long ago I asked my daughter created cards that I would sell at our local quilt show. She helped me work the show for years when I was the registrar, and when I held other positions… Continue reading A Little Furry Fun
Starting Point
There’s always a starting point and in quilt making it often begins with a main fabric. When I was working on my Photograph on Fiber series, rather than start with a main fabric and grab other fabrics to coordinate with it, my starting point was an actual photograph. I would decide if I’d be echoing… Continue reading Starting Point
Challenges
I was scrolling through Instagram recently and noticed several people taking part in different time sensitive or daily challenges. Back in November 2020 I challenged myself, and anyone interested in joining me, to Needlevember. Each day in November I/we would share something we stitched. I enjoyed the stitching but having something to show every day… Continue reading Challenges
First Responders and a Winner
Visions Art Museum had a Call for Entries with the theme First Responders. This exhibit will be online only and I haven’t heard yet if my piece has been selected, I’m sharing it here. I had many ideas but I got a late start so I went with the simplest one. It’s only about 15″… Continue reading First Responders and a Winner
Tree and Bark
This is a reminder that I’ll hold the random draw, then post the winner for my painted tree fabric in next weeks post. I wasn’t sure how hand embroidering would go but thanks to my hoop stand I was able to finish the piece I wrote about here. I used three strands of black floss… Continue reading Tree and Bark
Painted Tree Fabric Giveaway
I’m learning to use my hand and arm again but I had no idea it would be such a challenge. I’ve always said making art is my therapy but now it is literally my physical therapy! I enjoyed painting this tree fabric but I wasn’t sure what I would do with it so I decided… Continue reading Painted Tree Fabric Giveaway
Stamping Fabric
I’m happy to be out of my cast but recovery is going slowly with little arting going on. I have more drawer treasures to share, I only wish I could remember how I actually made many of the pieces I have rediscovered. These are pieces that have been stamped using leaves and other objects. I… Continue reading Stamping Fabric
