With a weave print background, I stitched ‘music is life’ over and over again. I added a simple record player made with a variety of Basic Grey fabrics. Let the music play (8.5†x 14â€) Simple designs can speak volumes. Random.org picked comments 9 and 13 as the lucky winners of my STITCHED 2015 blog […]
Art Quilts
Ready for Spring

Paint Splatters Happy
I have been cleaning my studio to make room for some painting. All the extra fabric and in progress and completed project need to be put away so I don’t get paint on them. I love fabric, but I do enjoy adding paint to fabric or canvas. The results can be unpredictable and so fun. […]
