My husband and I celebrate our wedding anniversary this month. We didn’t get married on the 14th and so we don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day, instead we celebrate later, the date that is special to us. The joke around here is that we can buy flowers and chocolates for each other on clearance! I’m not… Continue reading Hearts and Giveaway

Painting with Fabric
I have been scanning some old quilt related photos. “Old” as in before camera phones so we didn’t know how good (or not) the photo was until it was developed, so please keep that in mind as you look at these images. I got into watercolor style quilts after meeting Gai Perry, the guest artist… Continue reading Painting with Fabric
Thanks and Fabric Giveaways
I’m so happy that I have been able to share my artwork, thank you for supporting me and commenting. I’ve learned a lot from many of you too. I received two surprises not too long ago, one was an email from the kind person who purchased one of my painted and stitched panel. Below is… Continue reading Thanks and Fabric Giveaways
A Fix and Giveaway
This little piece has been on my design wall unfinished for a while. It was a cut of a larger piece of hand painted fabric that I free motion quilted just for fun. I can’t even remember if I filmed while I was quilting it. I couldn’t figure out how to finish it, to fix… Continue reading A Fix and Giveaway

There are over 800 people on her list and she allows us to advertise our used quilt/sewing related items, as well as, list newsletters from… Continue reading Sharing and Giveaway

Here’s the How-to video showing how I painted the watermelon… Continue reading It Looks Like Watermelon to Me
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
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
Painted Fabric & Giveaway Winner
One reason my giveaways came about was because I discovered many things I made that had been stashed way. This fabric is a piece I discovered in the dig. I have no idea what I was thinking! The blue and the yellow look like one of my painted sky fabrics and I think I must… Continue reading Painted Fabric & Giveaway Winner
