She said ‘I do’ to her dreams (16†x 13†I ordered a ruffling foot for my sewing machine. The test strips of muslin I was playing with reminded me of layers of a skirt. When the ruffles were paired with a green background and a bit of black, I had a new quilt for […]

Midnight & Cream
I saw this pattern on Moda Bakeshop that I adapted to use larger cream pieces and not make the pieced back. Overall size is 65†square. The quilting is concentric squares. Top fabric is all from the Basic Grey Authentic line. Back is Heidi Grace Midnight Kiss fabric.
Spring Green Quilt
After making the birthday quilt, I was inspired to use fabric I had to make some other quilts. The celery green, cream and tan was springy and despite the quilt being square, the blocks didn’t stay square as I quilted. I’m still practicing my machine quilting on larger quilts – this one is 54†square.

The book arrived at their home today so I can share a few of the pages without ruining the surprise. Upholstery […]
She Creates Joy – Birdcage Maker
Fabric, thread, wire and a few extras… I’m experimenting with using some of the techniques from Christy Tomlinson’s She Art Workshop to create art from mostly fabric (in place of paint and paper), thread (in place of rub ons, stencils and a pen) and fusible webbing (as the glue). There’s a a lot of detail […]
Starting Again
After creating several mixed media pieces during Christy Tomlinson’s She Art Workshop, I decided to scan one of the finished pieces and print it on fabric. I then made it into a small art quilt embellished with lots of thread.
