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
Memory Lane Landscapes
More fun findings… While going through my studio file cabinet I discovered photos and pieces from my miniature landscape class and earlier. The photos were from long ago, before digital photos, I sure wish I had better photos some of these pieces. I’m so happy for digital now! I can see now every little thing… Continue reading Memory Lane Landscapes
Hand Painted Fabric Giveaway
As I continue to clear out drawers and cupboards I’d like to thank everyone for stopping by, for commenting to enter the giveaways, and for helping me re-home some of my artistic pieces. I used to have a large paint/wet area in my studio, but my Mister decided to park the car in there and… Continue reading Hand Painted Fabric Giveaway
A Little Furry Fun
I’ll start by letting you know that I’ll be announcing another giveaway next week. May got away from me! Long ago I asked my daughter created cards that I would sell at our local quilt show. She helped me work the show for years when I was the registrar, and when I held other positions… Continue reading A Little Furry Fun
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
Tree and Bark
This is a reminder that I’ll hold the random draw, then post the winner for my painted tree fabric in next weeks post. I wasn’t sure how hand embroidering would go but thanks to my hoop stand I was able to finish the piece I wrote about here. I used three strands of black floss… Continue reading Tree and Bark
Stamping Fabric
I’m happy to be out of my cast but recovery is going slowly with little arting going on. I have more drawer treasures to share, I only wish I could remember how I actually made many of the pieces I have rediscovered. These are pieces that have been stamped using leaves and other objects. I… Continue reading Stamping Fabric
Easy Additions
In the past when I presented live lectures to quilt guilds, one of the talks was about making the quilt more our own. We often use one main fabric to help select the other fabrics in a quilt, this is a twist on that. During my recovery ironing is not happening so please excuse any… Continue reading Easy Additions
Looking Up
I’m from a family of sky watchers. My parents lived just up the hill from where we live and my mom would often phone in the evenings, all she’d say was “sky alert!.” I would know that meant go upstairs and look out. My folks are gone but rarely do we miss a morning or… Continue reading Looking Up
