I want to thank you for reading my blog, I truly have appreciated your support and comments.I have always felt very fortunate to be able to spend my days making art, recently though I haven’t had blocks of time to really make the art that is most fulfilling to me. So I have to make… Continue reading Decisions and Change

Answer and the Winner
Asked how I applied the Three Hearts art quilt to the canvas, here is my answer… I left an area in the center of the canvas unpainted (it was an already gesso primed canvas) and I applied artist gel medium over the entire canvas front and added some to the quilt back, then with the… Continue reading Answer and the Winner
Hearts and Giveaway
My husband and I celebrate our wedding anniversary this month. We didn’t get married on the 14th and so we don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day, instead we celebrate later, the date that is special to us. The joke around here is that we can buy flowers and chocolates for each other on clearance! I’m not… Continue reading Hearts and Giveaway
Altered Book Landscape
If you have any interest in assemblage and mixed media art or just want to enjoy something a bit different from fabric and quilt making, I recommend Ina’s Art Room on YouTube. She makes wonderful works of art, usually using surprising elements (sometimes fabric). Ina also invites subscribers and visitors to participate in her 4… Continue reading Altered Book Landscape
Painting with Fabric
I have been scanning some old quilt related photos. “Old” as in before camera phones so we didn’t know how good (or not) the photo was until it was developed, so please keep that in mind as you look at these images. I got into watercolor style quilts after meeting Gai Perry, the guest artist… Continue reading Painting with Fabric
Changing Ways
I laugh when I think back to the days when I would only work on one project at a time, start to finish, and they were usually pretty big size (quilt) projects. Now I’m usually working on at least three projects at a time. Maybe it’s because I’m older and there are so many things… Continue reading Changing Ways
That’s Interesting
“That’s interesting” is sometimes the comment my Mister gives when looking at my art. He has been incredibly supportive through all these years of my art making, but sometimes when he doesn’t “get it,” or care for the art piece, he knows how to be diplomatic. I found it very interesting that because the subject… Continue reading That’s Interesting
A Fix and Giveaway
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
