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
It Looks Like Watermelon to Me
I’ve put together two little fabric packets. One (#1) is white, blue, and red and the second (#2), what I’m calling watermelon/lavender, for the July giveaway/sweepstakes. Let me know which one (or either) you’d like a chance to win by following the rule instructions below. Here’s the How-to video showing how I painted the watermelon… Continue reading It Looks Like Watermelon to Me
Crackle – Crinkle Technique
I mentioned in my previous post that I have been working on new painted fabric techniques. I’m sharing a one here, though for me it’s not new because I accidentally made a piece of this fabric a long time ago. Below is a short video that demonstrates just how easy it is. A couple things… Continue reading Crackle – Crinkle Technique
Beyond Snapshots
I remember telling my son I wanted to use his photographs in my art quilts but I didn’t mean printed on fabric; I meant the actually photograph. I know I’m not alone in wanting to use photographs in combination with fabric and fibers. In today’s post I share a few from other artists and I… Continue reading Beyond Snapshots
Painted Fabric and Giveaway
I’m excited to announce that next week I’ll be posting the Photograph and Fiber pieces. There is a little something for everyone – great ideas and, I think, they’re very inspiring. I’ll be showing some of the fabrics I’ve been painting lately in futures posts but for now, here is the most recent sky painting… Continue reading Painted Fabric and Giveaway
Work in Progress
I’m looking forward to sharing the photograph and fiber/fabric pieces, that other artists have given me permission to share, in an upcoming blog post. For now I’ll give you a little look in to the piece I’m working on for that blog post. I’m not going to show it with the photograph until the piece… Continue reading Work in Progress
Challenges
I was scrolling through Instagram recently and noticed several people taking part in different time sensitive or daily challenges. Back in November 2020 I challenged myself, and anyone interested in joining me, to Needlevember. Each day in November I/we would share something we stitched. I enjoyed the stitching but having something to show every day… Continue reading Challenges
