Over at Layers Upon Layers, Cyndi calls our attention to painting and dyeing fabrics for quilting and other fabric art projects. Actually her painting involves sun pringing muslin after painting it. She refers to Melissa’s blog and her great fabric dyeing techniques and displays.
My daughter enjoys painting and dyeing fabrics and creating all types of […]
My daughter Beth continually introduces me to new projects and the latest is making a padfolio, following Sue Bleiweiss’s tutorial. A padfolio is basically a quilted fabric folder made to hold a pad of paper for note taking, along with possibly a pen or pencil and other items.
If you like, you can use a small […]
If you’ve been following the Fiber Explorers’ Round Robin pages (they’re making books for this session), my daughter Beth has posted more at her Meandering Threads blog, under a post, More Round Robin Pages.
It’s always fun to see what Beth is making and the pages others in the group create for her “Nature” book. Here’s […]
As we watch yet another foot of snow accumulate around our house in April in New Hampshire, my daughter and I wonder where spring is and all those green leaves and flowers that should be budding. (We’ve had two storms, a foot of snow each, in less than a week in a season when we […]
To climax National Quilt Month (March), Judy Howard, of Buckboard Quilts, is designating March 29 as Charity Quilt Day.
“This is a campaign to raise awareness and funding for the sacrificial volunteer work of hundreds of thousands of quilters who provide quilts for sick babies, orphans, homeless people, nursing homes, cancer and Alzheimer’s patients, soldiers and […]
My daughter has finished some more fabric postcards for her swap and put a few up on her Meandering Threads blog. To come up with ideas, she fell back upon her scraps and began putting them together.
As Beth says, she seems to use many leaves in her project. Maybe she’ll become known as the “Leaf Lady” […]
Our b5media Arts & Design Channel features a Theme Day each month with all of the bloggers participating. This month our theme was “green”…for St. Patrick’s Day, spring, fresh ideas, and luck.
William Lehman, at Artist Hideout, did a great job of hosting and even came up with this photo. Check out his blog to see […]
I’ve come across a variety of Round Robins, whereby a quilt or fabric art piece, makes the round of the artists, with each adding to it. These can be conducted among quilters who meet online or those who gather in person periodically.
*Fabric books, such as my daughter mentions at Meandering Threads. Each fiber artist contributes a […]
I see my daughter using her digital camera more and more in her quilting activities. No, she hasn’t developed a way quilt with it! But it’s so handy for taking photos of her work…for her own records, to post on her Meandering Treads blog, to post on other blogs, to send to groups for quilt […]
The January theme for our Arts and Crafts Channel’s Theme Day is “All Things New.” This could mean new projects, new directions, turning your hobby into a business, taking new classes…essentially venturing out of your comfort zone.
I’ve found quiltmaking has changed so much over the years, from the “traditional” patterns and styles I made with my […]
