This weeks’ fabric journal started earlier last week with the idea of wanting to try a new technique and then use the technique for my inspiration.
Read More*Enjoy Life’s Moments* It is so lush and green here in Connecticut right now. This is the peak of the re-growth of things and also where the inspiration for this week’s journal quilt comes from . . .
Read MoreHere is my weekly challenge! This one was simple and fun to do. Each one measures 6" x 6" and I try to make one a week; my goal is to do this for the entire year and put them all together at the end of the year . . .
Read MoreSPRING is the theme of this week’s journal quilt. It has taken a long time for spring to come and stay in Connecticut this year. You’ll still find me on some mornings putting on my down jacket when I go out to walk the dogs because it’s only 40 degrees out!
Read MoreI have been working hard (in-between going to work!) on this quiltie book -a small 5" x 5" sample for my July 28th class at Sew Inspired Quilt Shop in Simsbury, CT . . .
Read More…I will share with you a few of the little 5" x 5" quilties I have made so far as sample pages for my Quilties class at Sew Inspired in Simsbury CT on July 28th from 10-4pm (2007).
Read MoreCHANGES . . . That is the theme of this week’s journal quilt. I started with a paper image from the Tallulah’s Drama Queens Sheet I found at Alpha Stamps . . .
Read MoreHere is my latest in my weekly challenge to myself. I am striving for 1 small 6" x 6" Journal quilt per week. I started January 7th and this is my 15th one. I almost did not create one this week . . .
Read MoreSo, I went into my studio to see what I could come up with on the spur of the moment. I had worked a lot on a mixed media collage last week, and so I thought I’d use some elements of that piece on the journal quilt . . .
Read MoreThe collage is finished!
Read MoreHere are a few more pages from my travel to Portugal Journal..
Read MoreI wanted to do something different this time so I started with a piece of canvas paper as the base of this week’s journal quilt. The Fredrix brand that comes in a pad is a real piece of artist’s canvas . . .
Read MoreThis week I wanted to do a more free-form journal quilt using some of the beautiful fabrics that were still out on my table from my recent fabric art making . . .
Read MoreThe hands are a scan of our hands we did a while ago for possible artwork. I took the scan, printed it mirror image on a transparency and then used gel medium to transfer it to fabric. I stamped various images with VersaCraft ink onto the fabric & the transparency . . . .
Read MoreMy Journal quilt is done on a piece of cast-off jeans that used to be Steven’s. I printed the larger photo of the tree stump & snow around it directly onto a piece of muslin. The image of Asia and the image of Steven walking are gel medium image transfers . . .
Read MoreThe theme of this week’s journal quilt is ART! Last week Steven and I went to the West Hartford Art League to see our 2 pieces that made it into their Juried show . . .
Read MoreOnly 79 artworks made it into this show. Steve & I are very happy and feeling lucky that both of these pieces make it in!
Read MoreLast week I celebrated my 50th Birthday, and this week’s journal quilt definitely reflects that . . . . I had fun printing photos out onto fabric for this journal quilt!
Read MoreHere we are at #7 in my series of small journal quilts I am creating on a weekly basis. This one is very simple, although I did print a photo of a painting I did onto Lutradur . . .
Read MoreGreat news to share. My collage art was accepted into Juried Art Show as well as a collaboration by my husband Steven and I!
