Visiting the Haute Couture Societe, wearable art!

February 6, 2020

NOTE: I may not post next week – it’s a busy week as you will read below. I wish I had more time in my life to play with wearable art. It is in my blood, but during this season of life I don’t think I’ll get much time to play with wearables. So I […]

I have an irrational fear of sewing with knits. I decided I needed to finally conquer my fear of knits by diving in and making a summer top. I chose this knit of unknown content-I think it’s viscose. It’s a beautiful piece I purchased from Fine Fabrics of Santa Barbara a few years ago. In […]

Free Motion Quilting Challenge-March

March 30, 2012

I am involved in the 2012 Free Motion Quilting Challenge at SewCalGal’s Blog. Each month a tutorial by a skilled quilter covers some aspect of free motion quilting and participants are asked to post their response to the challenge. This month Ann Fahl asked us to play with various background fills. I was familiar with […]
