One good thing about being pretty much in isolation is getting some things made that are not especially fun but necessary. 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

So here’s an oldie but, I think, a goodie. Read details below for fabric giveaway/sweepstakes. I plan to… Continue reading Painted Fabric Giveaways
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

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…
This Time of Year…
I was almost a Halloween baby having been born the day before and have always enjoyed the end of October. When our kids were little I loved making their costumes and painting their faces. My daughter is an artist and draws original cards for most special occasions around here and they usually feature a cat.… Continue reading This Time of Year…
