In my continuing quest to find any art I may be able to do during my recovery I have discovered many limitations. While cutting out these small hexagons, first with scissors and then rotary cutter, I was pushing and moving in ways I shouldn’t have been. Oh, boy, did I suffer the following day. Lesson… Continue reading Hexagons and Giveaway

Feathered Friends
There are House finches beginning to build a nest outside my studio, under our upstairs bedroom deck. We had a successful brood several years ago but the nest after it was raided by crows. Now we actually have a family of crow that visit us daily. Hoping for the best. I am enjoying the bird… Continue reading Feathered Friends
More Fabric Fun
Now that I have discovered typing single handed (for me) is slower that slow, I’m going to make this as short as possible. The fabric pieces I’m sharing here were done with one hand, I do believe with two functioning hands I would have gotten better results. Some times it’s just more about having fun!… Continue reading More Fabric Fun

Recently I played around… Continue reading Coloring Fabric and Giveaway

I’ve been stitching more masks, fabric covers for KN95 masks, and a rice filled warmer for our cat’s “IV” type fluid bag. Now the more creative side – I have been embroidering a bit… Continue reading Stitching Inn
Hex of a Tool
Hexagons are another handwork project I really enjoy but I don’t make grandmother’s flower garden quilts, in fact, all I seem to do these days is make the hexagon pieces. In the future I’ll have another random drawing and the prize will be over 200 hexagons! The other day I drew up a design and… Continue reading Hex of a Tool
Stitching the Year Out
Fiber art, sewing, quilting, stitching, mark-making, what have you especially enjoyed working on this year? Hand stitching has been something that has brought me great comfort during 2020. Here are a few of the pieces I’ve finished… Well, the thread work is finished, most have yet to be mounted or framed. I used solid white,… Continue reading Stitching the Year Out
