As I mentioned in my last post, I’m making a series of lessons showing how I make different elements for a mini fabric landscapes. What I neglected to mention is that I would be starting with white fabric (Thank you, Snarky Quilter!). Here is the piece in progress, which means these pieces are not attached… Continue reading The All White Landscape

Mini Elements
I’m working on some techniques for making elements for mini landscapes quilt/pieces. Here are the rocks. I’ll share this technique as soon as I can. It is super easy, quick and fun… more to come.
I remember…
I remember when I got rid of all of my embroidery paraphernalia; when I became a quilter! Before then, for years, I embroidered everything. Then a few years ago I discovered mark making with thread, more specifically, floss. So, off I went to buy all of those embroidery tools and materials, again. But now I… Continue reading I remember…
Temporarily Sidelined
Unfortunately, I’m on week two of the flu. A couple of days ago I started an embroidery piece because I can only lay and rest for so long! When it’s finished, if it isn’t a foggy headed mess, I’ll post it. One of the worse things is that I’m a walker and haven’t been able… Continue reading Temporarily Sidelined
Always learning…
I’m working up a new Curious.com lesson and I thought I knew exactly where I was headed but the gel print plate disagreed! I did end up getting a mono print on paper that I’ll use somewhere but it’s useless for the lesson. Maybe I’ll do some MeAnndering in the white areas or some stamping… Continue reading Always learning…
Reindeer?
This photo is from the great Redwood Forest. I took it because it had fibery bits and I saw the head of a reindeer, sans the antlers, in it. Can you see it? I hope you have Happy Holidays and a Peaceful and creative New Year!
Fabric Play
I was thinking about making some winter cards so I was playing, with sun-printing (again) using leatherleaf ferns and Setasilk and then painting with Neo Color wax pastels. The first three are from the same large piece, I’m floating a card stock “window” over it to find an area I like. I’m not sure where… Continue reading Fabric Play
Surprise and Prize
Last month while listening to a podcast at While She Naps with Abby Glassenberg, I learned that Abby would be giving her listeners an opportunity “to recommend great stuff you’re enjoying right now.” Listeners could record a message on the While She Naps website (technology – so cool!) and on Dec. 4th the podcast aired.… Continue reading Surprise and Prize
Harvest Art
Still waiting for Fall after the 90° Thanksgiving and realizing December is almost here! This turkey was created for my grandnieces (7 and 6) who had a good time coloring them during our Thanksgiving family gathering. I gave them each a plain turkey sheet along with one with this MeAnndered turkey below. It was interesting… Continue reading Harvest Art
Happy Thanksgiving!
I will be sharing Thanksgiving Day with my family… there will be thirty of us. Thankfully we will be in my sister and brother-in-law’s air conditioned home, because it is supposed to be around 90° here! I’m more of a “thankful to…” than a “thankful for…” kind of person. And today I’m very thankful that… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
