"Skins" for Fiber Art

Dismal weather day here...waiting for good light to take pics. Although yesterday was sunny and bright I didn't get to take poics till it was too late and the sun was right on the spot I needed to shoot.  Instead I applied more inkAid to fabrics and papers before putting them through my computer. But it was great for indoor computer play.  Here's a few more "skins" for my fiber art:

Pressing Board


Hi! I haven’t blogged in days but I have been busy as ever.  I accomplished some mundane chores:  made a pressing board and recovered an old mini-ironing board.  Of course, I did more cleaning and re-organizing in my sewing room.

I love this new pressing board!

I’ll soon have some pics up of a year long book art project but, for today, here are some images I’ve been playing with to build up my digital library from some pics I took yesterday morning when the biggest snowflakes were falling:

Crazy Quilt Finished

The crazy quilt I was working on is finished. I referred to a Patsy Thomson design for free motion quilting.  I love this bird fabric but I only have a small remnant of it and it had no selvage edge so I have no idea whose fabric it is.  Anyone know?

Digital Image Gallery

Here are a couple of new digital images I created from my photographs to use in my art quilts.  As I build up a new gallery of images for use in my art quilts, I'll post them here.

A Modern Approach...WIP

The production of new digital "skins" is on hold until I get a new Photoshop program.

 Meanwhile, I've been working on another art quilt - a modern approach to crazyquilting.
