I’m making waves on fabric, with Caran d’Ache Neocolor ll wax pastels that is! I use these wax pastels a lot and really like what can be created with them. I was using them to make landscape background elements but I wasn’t using them alone… under my fabric I placed a piece of very course… Continue reading Making Waves

Painting Mottled Fabric Video
I’ve come up with a new technique and posted a video for a fun hand painted fabric using Terial Magic, the spray stabilizer I’ve written about in the past. I like to have a variety of different painted fabrics to use (don’t we all!) as backgrounds for stamping, stenciling, embroidery, and/or machine stitching or just… Continue reading Painting Mottled Fabric Video
Painted Fabric in a Hoop Part 2
Funny how things get pushed to the back burner or taken off the heat altogether. A short time ago someone commented on my Fabric Painted Landscape in a Hoop video that I posted in 2018. As I was looking through files to find some information about that video I found several clips I hadn’t remembered… Continue reading Painted Fabric in a Hoop Part 2

A Challenge with Hand Embroidery
I remember about ten or fifteen years ago getting rid of my hand embroidery materials/tools. When I was young I hand embroidered everything! But then I became a quilter and wouldn’t be creating hand embroidered piece anymore. Fast forward to 2017 and I was buying back all the tools I use back then. I think… Continue reading A Challenge with Hand Embroidery
San Diego Quilt Show
I’m recovering from the quilt show where we had near 400 quilts in the general display and over one hundred quilts for sale in our Quilt Sales booth. I had help from some awesome volunteers, members of SDQS (who are also volunteers!), and from my patient husband (who has helped me with this show for… Continue reading San Diego Quilt Show
Grandscape
Just revisiting an old miniature art quilt. I love how the sunlight seems to break over the mesa.
Free-motion and painting videos!
I have published a couple new YouTube videos. One is free-motion quilting a simple tree and the newest is a mini painted landscape (from previous post) that will be stitched in a later video or two. If you take the time to watch them I truly appreciate it. If you enjoy them please comment, give… Continue reading Free-motion and painting videos!
Painted Landscape or Two!
I painted a little yesterday using my old quilt hoop (as the stretcher frame) and the Jacquard Textile Colors. The plan was, and still is, to do a bit of machine embroidery over the painting, then sandwich it and add some MeAnndering (aka free-motion quilting). But after I took the fabric out of the hoop… Continue reading Painted Landscape or Two!
