Need Fabrics
I bought a lot of this turquoise fabric (Botanical Pop from Baum Textile Mills/Windham Fabrics) – probably about 6 yards and made tote bags out of it. Now I want to make another and it so old (January 2008?) that … Continue reading
A Binding Away From Finished
Fortunately, today was just the kind of weather I enjoy. It was cool tending towards cold, but clear with some big fluffy clouds around. The light was really gorgeous and it helped me get into a calm mood before I … Continue reading
Creative Prompt #2: Excitement
Use the word ‘excitement’ to create this week’s doodle or art work. I updated the Creative Prompt page with some additional resources.
Inspiration Thursday
I thought these rocks wout be interesting to sketch, or use bits of different values of grey fabric and try to do a value study.
Eye Spy Lurching Towards the Finish Line
I don’t know where this month has gone. Frankly, I am glad February is coming to a close, but I still wonder what happened to the days. My next longarm day is March 2 and the Eye Spy is in … Continue reading
Avoidance Issues
I was on my blog and directing traffic and tweaking a lot during the past three or four days. The blog move has been somewhat time consuming, but is mostly done, and worth the effort so far. One of the … Continue reading
Patterns for Fun
I am on another CraftSanity jag and listened to an episode where Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood interviewed Meg McElwee, owner of Sew Liberated and writer of the Sew Liberated blog. Jennifer is a huge fan of aprons and these look really fun. … Continue reading

They remind me of the swirly fabrics from a few years ago that I used in Spiky Stars (http://www.artquiltmaker.com/sub_pages/spiky.htm). clipped from marklipinskisblog.wordpress.com Elements My new line, … Continue reading
Mark at McCall’s
Mark Lipinski of Quilter’s Home fame highlights the recent issue of McCall’s Quilting, which has more bags in it. I might just have to get a copy, or at least check one out. Lots of people are asking me about … Continue reading
Blues are Back
Remember the Hop, Skip and Jump pattern I tried in December? I thought I was, but I am, apparently, not done with the blues. And there is that rectangle shape again (2.5′x4.5, FYI). While the Tarts Come to Tea has … Continue reading
More about Machine Quilting
One of the things I did to prepare for my longarm day was to doodle. I got out the sketchbook and did some doodling in it. It wasn’t true doodling, because I used some reference materials, including some designs from … Continue reading
