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

It’s November!
It’s interesting to me how time can seem to go by slowly and other times so quickly. I was exciting to be trying some new things (for me anyway) on the gel print plate. I made one print and for some reason decided to clean my plate; nothing would work, I mean nothing! So after… Continue reading It’s November!
Looking Up, Birds, and Winners
Things are looking up around here, for one reason, we are finally having our ancient furnace, it’s in the attic, replaced. We haven’t used it in several years and though we don’t have horribly cold winters, I’m cold if it’s below 75° and the hands don’t work well with they’re chilly. Space heaters have helped… Continue reading Looking Up, Birds, and Winners
Quick Quilting
I added a border and started quilting the cat on a mat. It’s raw edge fused and made from painted fabric, I wrote about it here. I decided to not make the piece a square rectangle but to follow the edge of the green mat. I may just look like a bad job instead of… Continue reading Quick Quilting
Rock, Paper, Fabric, Glass
I remember someone being perplexed by quilters because we take fabric, cut it up, then put it back together again. It’s not just quilters; so much of art is cutting something up and reassembling it. Paper – My daughter recently gave me some of her (dry) wet palette and wipe-up papers. I paper collaged this… Continue reading Rock, Paper, Fabric, Glass
Sharing and Giveaway
I’m part of a (primarily) local quilter’s email newsletter started and run by a friend (done out of the goodness of her heart and to keep up her typing/computer skills). 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
Painting Fur Fabric
Even with temperatures here around 90° I found out that (homemade) texture paste takes a long time to dry and when rushed it cracks. The texture paste is going on my roadrunner piece, which won’t be done this week, so… In the meantime I started something new… I was filming a How-to paint fur fabric… Continue reading Painting Fur Fabric
Surface Show
I hoped to have my roadrunner piece finished but between the designing, cutting, and next drying time, it’s going to take longer than I thought it would. So, I’m sharing some pieces here, I’ve used different painting techniques on them. I’m sure I have shared some of them in the past but I think they… Continue reading Surface Show
Focus
I’m working on another project for Visions Art Museum Stir Crazy Member Challenge. I like to make a How-to video to go along with the project, it’ll be out in October and I’ll share it then. I had a slight mishap in the studio (roller cart tipped over when a caster came unscrewed). My (adult… Continue reading Focus
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
