I added a border and started quilting the cat on a mat. It’s raw edge fused and made from painted fabric, I wrote about it here. I decided to not make the piece a square rectangle but to follow the edge of the green mat. I may just look like a bad job instead of… Continue reading Quick Quilting

Sharing and Giveaway
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
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

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
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
Starting Point
There’s always a starting point and in quilt making it often begins with a main fabric. When I was working on my Photograph on Fiber series, rather than start with a main fabric and grab other fabrics to coordinate with it, my starting point was an actual photograph. I would decide if I’d be echoing… Continue reading Starting Point
First Responders and a Winner
Visions Art Museum had a Call for Entries with the theme First Responders. This exhibit will be online only and I haven’t heard yet if my piece has been selected, I’m sharing it here. I had many ideas but I got a late start so I went with the simplest one. It’s only about 15″… Continue reading First Responders and a Winner
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
