Now that I have discovered typing single handed (for me) is slower that slow, I’m going to make this as short as possible. The fabric pieces I’m sharing here were done with one hand, I do believe with two functioning hands I would have gotten better results. Some times it’s just more about having fun!… Continue reading More Fabric Fun

News and Winner
Well, I was hoping to be able to share a finished piece but gravity changed my plan. I shared this gel plate printed, resisted background fabric with hearts on it ages ago. I can’t even remember all that I did to achieve it but it involved freezer paper and a mesh produce bag. I don’t… Continue reading News and Winner
Coloring Fabric and Giveaway
Some of you know that I’m a quite a fan of Caran D’ Ache Neocolor II water-soluble wax pastels. If you’ve taken my leaf painting class you may already know how fun these wax pastels are to use on fabric. I have used them in some of my videos and lessons. Recently I played around… Continue reading Coloring Fabric and Giveaway
Stitching Inn
One good thing about being pretty much in isolation is getting some things made that are not especially fun but necessary. I’ve been stitching more masks, fabric covers for KN95 masks, and a rice filled warmer for our cat’s “IV” type fluid bag. Now the more creative side – I have been embroidering a bit… Continue reading Stitching Inn
Landscape Art Quilts
After all these years I have to say that making fabric landscapes is still one of my most favorite artistic adventures. My early pieces were completely hand appliqued and quilted.

So here’s an oldie but, I think, a goodie. Read details below for fabric giveaway/sweepstakes. I plan to… Continue reading Painted Fabric Giveaways
Stitching the Year Out
Fiber art, sewing, quilting, stitching, mark-making, what have you especially enjoyed working on this year? Hand stitching has been something that has brought me great comfort during 2020. Here are a few of the pieces I’ve finished… Well, the thread work is finished, most have yet to be mounted or framed. I used solid white,… Continue reading Stitching the Year Out
November Quickie
Previous post I shared the palm tree from the #Needlevember challenges; here is the free-motion video . I’ve had fun stitching everyday this month so far. It’s been a challenge first drawing something and then looking at it for reference while stitching on my machine. But I must admit the hand embroidery pieces have been… Continue reading November Quickie

This is a full post, feel free to share it with anyone you think would enjoy the project videos and artwork. October was crazy around here. My husband went in for his second procedure only to find out all was corrected during the first, so happy about that…cycling can commence! Our daughter is finally back… Continue reading Made it to November
