Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It’s not a bright green, but it went so well with this rust orange batik background. I quilted around each of the light green/grey circles. She is happy in green (5†x 9â€) A few STITCHED 2015 students have begun making their own Magpie Girl art quilts. It’s been so fun […]
Month: March 2015
Bloom – – Dream
I hope pretty art is sufficient this Monday, as all my words seem jumbled today. Bloom and Dream are available in my Etsy shop.
Wander the World
417 is my favorite number. I was so excited to find it on a clothing tag. I hoarded it for years until I started this magpie girl art quilt. It was the perfect color and adds a little more of me to this quilt. This is the art quilt I demo from start to finish […]

Lately
3 of 4 members of our household have not been feeling well. Dexter kitty stopped eating and we spent a few days force feeding him before he started eating kibble on his own. Fluffy kitty has been keeping us company while my husband and I don’t feel well. She enjoyed the windy day we had […]

Play – – Imagine
That giant pink button finally has a home on this swirly quilted gray mini quilt. I added another one of this ‘wrinkle free’ ribbons from my husband’s shirts. This fabric is very playful and ‘play’ is a great reminder to have fun everyday. The blues in this washi fabric always makes me think of the […]

Around Here Lately
STITCHED 2015 started! It is so fun to see all the classes and decide which videos to watch first. As I watch the STITCHED 2015 videos, I’ve been applying fusible webbing to cotton batting, cutting batik fabrics for mini art quilts and I started quilting some of the mini backgrounds (yes, I watch videos, tv […]
