I’ve been working on this in the background for the last couple days as I had a terrible head cold. I have 31 equal signs on there, and 18 to go. Hopefully I’ll have this finished soon! Then to quilt it, I’m not sure yet… I’ll have to figure that one out. Wish me luck!
This piece was made for an art show, but it didn’t get in. Bummer. Oh well. That just means that it will be going in the county fair. Speaking of the County fair, I’ve really got to get everything ready and start packing it up. I’ll have a lot of pieces going in! Wish me luck!
I didn’t really didn’t know what to do with myself. I keep reading news articles about the Pulse massacre, and it was just heartbreaking. I decided I really needed to do something productive before I let the depression set in. I decided to do a whole cloth quilt with equal signs on it. One for each of the victims. Hopefully I’ll have the top done by tomorrow night, and my plan is to auction it off somewhere and donate the money to a charity based in Orlando. Wish me luck!
I was planning on bragging about how wonderful it was that I got published in a book for my quilt on gay rights, but now I’m at home heartbroken after this unspeakable tragedy. This catastrophe that made me feel uncomfortable and empty, I decided to channel my grief into a new work inspired by the continuing struggle for gay rights.
Updates to come on my latest works later in the week.
It’s Sunday. The temp has cooled down. I’m still getting over this cold. I have so much to do, and I can’t help but playing with my fabric paint. I did finish a wall hanging piece though. S that’s at least a little productive! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go and do some laundry, and piece some fabric for a belated wedding quilt! Wish me luck!
I know I haven’t posted much lately, but I’ve been so busy staying in my basement sewing up a storm. I broke out this half finished project and added some texture using tulle and mesh. I really like the way it looks, but it’s not a pom-pon, you know? I still have quite a bit of work to do. Wish me luck!
As you know, I’m always down to make a baby quilt! I actually made this in one day from start to finish. It was pretty simple with the patterning I chose. two of my close friends are having a baby, and I took the opportunity to make this unique pattern. Yes, I will be publishing the pattern sometime in June in case anyone was wondering! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I mus get back to fabric dyeing in my basement! Wish me luck!
I’ve been having a blast with fabric paint! I recently bought some Jacquard Dyn-Na-Flow and I have been having a blast with it! I’ve been using a salt technique to add texture, and I just adore it! I have two more pieces in my basement curing right now, and I’ll post pictures of them later! Later today I’ll be posting pictures of some of my other recent projects that I didn’t upload here earlier! Wish me luck!
I’ve got the star coming along quite nicely! Now I just need to add more strips to the background and then start working on the 3 dimensional aspects of the star… It involves Mesh! Wish me luck!
It started out as a flower in a dark garden… then, somewhere along the line I started to applique bias strips of fabric down, and now it’s a star! I even named it “Solar Flair”, which, let’s face it, you have to do ‘jazz hands’ while saying it out loud! I have about 200 more strips to put on, but once I do, it’s going to be looking sharp! I’m working on it tonight, so I’ll post the update tomorrow! Wish me luck!
