New Online Fabrics
Some of the fabrics came from eQuilter. Once again I was annoyed to see that I already have the pink dots. Something about their site makes the fabric look different. Oh well, at least it isn’t brown. I can use … Continue reading

VJ From the Sewing POV
This artist, to whom I was directed by Deirdre, has done some gorgeous visual journaling (at least that is what it looks like to me). She seems to have sewn a design and then placed it in a journal. This … Continue reading
