This little pieces was made before I did much fusing. It was a move away from hand applique and sadly the results were not what I planned for. But it ended up having a lot of dimension and I’m happy with the free motion quilting. That was really fun, no plan, just go for it!

The back of my quilts…
Every since I began quilting on a machine I have felt liberated and I don’t worry so much about my stitch uniformity and length. It does depend where the piece may end up and whether or not it is for competition or sale; where the stitching does indeed matter. I heard a quilt maker say… Continue reading The back of my quilts…
Hot days and garden time
Although I have been quilting up a storm (This is the back view of my most recent painted whole cloth), we have had warm days and I’ve spent extra time out in the gardens. There has been a kitty hanging around ( we have name it “The Cat”) and she is trying to adopt us… Continue reading Hot days and garden time
Fire season and machine quilting…

The fiber before the photograph
Here is a tease for a new piece in the Photograph and Fiber series. It is a painted whole cloth. Now the quilting begins. When it is finished and I know where it is headed I’ll post it again.

Just for fun and inspiration! Enjoy.
Whole cloths
I’m behind in blogging but I have been spending happy hours (days actually) in the studio. I remember earlier in the year when I fell into a bit of a slump but now I have more ideas than I could ever have time to create (must be a spring thing). I have enjoyed a few… Continue reading Whole cloths
A felting I will go…
I’m getting ready for a craft fair and decided to make some felted soap. These are just the first few (they look a bit like colored eggs). I’m thinking about doing some needle punching on others but that takes much more time, so we will see. But I’m sure glad I’m not allergic to wool… Continue reading A felting I will go…
