A new era

My craft room has two new additions, Toby and Ollie.

Hexie Dreams + Template

My Hexie Dreams quilt, which was carefully fussy cut and hand pieced by me, then hand quilted by my gramma, is finally finished after three+ years of work (and avoidance). The proof is in the stitching – persistence pays off!

Ophelia Print + Embroidery

I added simple embroidery to an antique Ophelia print (by Deblois, after Bertrand) I found at a resale shop.

Stitch Club: Dias

Cassandra Dias lead a TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club workshop on embroidered landscapes, and I was inspired to recreate a honeymoon photo of France’s Pont Du Gard.

Camus + Mucha Mixed Media

I used watercoloring pencils and embroidery on an Alphonse Mucha coloring book page with an Albert Camus quote.

Seabird Mixed Media

An initial mixed media project to get a handle on how materials work.
