New Day

It is spring and so new beginnings are coming. For me it will be a continuation with new additions. I have decided to work on my type of art with a twist. I am writing tutorials, I am going to be adding my some guest artists on occasions, I will have a new web site to be announced here when I am up. I am blessed because my brother has his own server and my sister in law and he both know a lot web design, internet etc. I know the sewing and business end. Both of them are crafters also.

I am asking that all quilters, crafts people, jewelers, etc learn how to get along. Learn how to share your craft. I feel that this genre has become so nasty. After reading many blogs lately people are attacking other for getting our ideas out in the public. Here is the deal If you don't want your ideas out there don't post them. Plain and simple. How many computers do you think they are on? The surface design issue, please what does Moda fabric and Kate Spain expect.  As far as completely new designs how many are there really? Go back and look and look at older designs, quilt, fabric, art, clothing, etc. Just my humble opinion.

 

         Have a beautiful day!

And Sew It Goes

I am still working on very hard on my project. I only have twelve days left. 

I am working hard on the roses to get them just so, to make the bouquet balanced. Keeping color, size, value, and overall composition balanced is my goal. There are a few different art functions going on in this piece. there is a little thread work, hand embroidery, bead work, and a few other simple arts.

I love hand work. Before I can do the hand work though I must finish all of the machine work.

Plus Fiber Art Art Traders has put up the coolest trade I want to get in on. Can't wait.

And Sew it goes.

Roses and Post-Card

I have been busy working on "Roses for Momma" the past few days.  I am sewing the roses down to form a bouquet to place in the basket. It will look so cool. 

This whole design was inspired by the song "Roses for Momma" my mom almost died from her chemotherapy last year. And it broke my heart. Someone sent me a rose to my phone. 
It was cold mom was always cold. So I decided to design an art piece that was warm. Warm Roses in a warmer setting to reflect a warmer time of year. So I am still looking at the Valentines Day finish date.

I also made my very first fabric post card yesterday. Of course it was for mom. I hope it will lift her spirits.
