August in Alaska is also mushroom time. We have a fungus fair at the end of the month, so made a few mushroom themed quilts to celebrate. This girl is proudly holding up her first picked mushroom. ‘Mushroom’ is stitched into this happy green background. She was excited to pick her first mushroom (13†x […]
Scrap Quilt – Part 2
Over a year ago, I started a scrap quilt. I planned to post more progress photos, but there wasn’t any progress until last week. The basket that housed the started scrap quilt was overflowing with even more scraps. I dumped it and got to work randomly piecing fabrics together to make 13†squares that I […]
Sketching – Designing Joy
This is what I doodled during an episode of Project Runway! More random sketches. I started creating one that described how I was feeling that day or moment. I’ve been a little tired and run down thanks to my allergies and a change in medication. Cannot wait to have everything sort of back to normal.
Sketching – Quilter
I had to make a quilter! The next one needs a big design wall! These are random sketches that preserve my sanity during stressful days.
Enjoys Picking Berries as Much as Eating Them
A ticket, a tasket, a blueberry filled basket. She’s likes eating berries as much as she likes gathering them.
Enjoys Picking Berries
It’s August and in Alaska that means wild blueberries! A simple background with ‘berries’ stitched into the background. A girl in a floral skirt and hat holds a small bucket of berries. I took photos of the back of my recent quilts. The recent sketching has me appreciating the simple line drawings on the back.
Sketching – Adventure
I did this one just days before our trip to Europe. And these were from the plane ride home. And I don’t ski, but it’s popular in Alaska so I thought I’d try out a few ideas before winter got here.
Sketching – Random
I like the ‘hello today’ I will have to try that in fabric Love the kitty and friend. Girls in aprons, jackets and mostly short hair. I’m beginning to think I need to chop off my hair again. I spend a lot of time with cats and I recently received crazy cat lady candy, I […]
Happy Hunting
Mushroom hunting that is. This quilt was made for the upcoming Fungus Fair. The co-op I am in is helping with the silent and live auction so I made this queen size quilt. I don’t often work that large, but it was a fun project and something I could do when I was worried about […]
Sketching – Friends
happy among friends boys! I get a lot of requests for boys – I’m starting to practice sketching them so I can add more of them to quilts.
