All About Fabric Panels from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Hi, fabric lovers!

As you may know, I’ve been having such a kick talking about fabric on the blog lately. Although I can talk about prints all day, there is one type of fabric I’d love to talk about that some of you may not be aware of. It’s all about fabric panels! So, today we are going to answer some questions we get all the time and show you some of the panels that Art Gallery Fabrics has to offer!

What is a fabric panel?

There are many kinds of panels out there, but AGF creates ...

Design, Exploration & A Finished Piece from Where Art & Life Meet

It all began with the Stem Stitch, a much over-looked stitch. I decided I needed to explore it and see if I could find a little excitement while doing so. I had no idea that this stitch would be the beginning of something wonderful! I pulled out some hand dyed linen that I’d bought and… Continue reading Design, Exploration & A Finished Piece

A New Design, A Stroll & Mischief from Where Art & Life Meet

Let’s kick things off with a new design, shall we?! What? Didn’t she just unveil a new design a couple of weeks ago, you might ask. Yes. Yes, I did. I’ve been very busy! This last one is a companion piece to the Glasses Case. It’s a scissor case! Which, if you’re like me, you… Continue reading A New Design, A Stroll & Mischief

Hello September ~ from Marty's Fiber Musings

Well, Hello There! September.....I'm looking forward to a bit of time with no drama....please. While we are weathering the Covid Storm and the Political Storm, Hurricane Storm Laura threw us a curve ball. It's the first time in my memory that hurricane force winds nearly blew us away here in North Louisiana. She wasn't pretty. What a mess we had to clean up inside and out. After being without electricity for 32 hours, I won't be taking that luxury for granted any time soon. When it was finally turned back on , we were jubilant ...

My Mother, British Humor, Thread Kits & More from Where Art & Life Meet

As I grow older I am more and more appreciative of my parents and all they did and, in my mother’s case, still does. So I begin this post with a photo of my parents, above. It’s one of my favorites. I think my mother was a little younger than I am now, when this… Continue reading My Mother, British Humor, Thread Kits & More

“Discomfort” & Designing from Where Art & Life Meet

I’m working on something new, which is always exciting and uncomfortable at the same time. *Digression alert* That word -uncomfortable – is also used when you go into a doctor’s office to have a surgical procedure done and they say, “This might pinch a little” or when you go to the dentist to get your… Continue reading “Discomfort” & Designing

my hand embroidered wrapping cloth is finished. Creating this has been a true labour of love.
karenannruane.typepad.com/karen_ruane/2020/07/an-embroide...
To me a wrapping cloth is not functional, it is symbolic of my desire to wrap up and protect my children.
This piece measures approximately 33 x 35 inches.

Who am I? from Marty's Fiber Musings

Many faces, I wear. But who am I? Really? A vulture!

Yes, that was my name for the day a couple of weeks ago. Why: because I took away a quilter's fabric to save it from being dumped curbside. Yes, I did it then and will do it again. Because I know that when I take, I also give back. Of the 24 yards + of fabric, I made 24 pillowcases for community service and the remaining yardage went toward quilt backings for the children in need. Enough.....

The quilting group finally got to meet last Thursday and what a ...

Memes, Cute Babies & Refusing to Dye from Where Art & Life Meet

As many of you know, my mother sends me little songs, videos, sometimes a cartoon or a meme, like the one below… And here’s another, this time a youtube video, which is still timely for so many in the United States. She also sent me this video. Amazing. Obviously I needed to get my kids… Continue reading Memes, Cute Babies & Refusing to Dye

Sweetness, Forgetfulness & Finishings from Where Art & Life Meet

Had a tough night or day? Here. Watch this. Courtesy of my mother – a dose of sweetness. Thanks Mom. ❤️ I completely forgot to post anything yesterday morning. Even more egregious, I forgot one of my brother’s birthdays and yesterday finally remembered to call him more than a week late.

Laughter, YouTube & A Handmade Needle Roll! from Where Art & Life Meet

During these times of uncertainty I find I am rethinking my “I hate the opera” proclamations of the past, having been moved to tears listening to Maurizio Marchini serenading his fellow Florentines from his balcony during the lockdown. I cannot listen to this man without crying. And then there are those crazy goats… what’s going… Continue reading Laughter, YouTube & A Handmade Needle Roll!

Starting.....Again ~ from Marty's Fiber Musings

Why is it that when one thought gets finished, another just pops right in? Oftentimes the pop-in rudely interrupts the not quite finished previous thought. What the......? Can't they wait their turn!

The same is true in the case of making pillow cases: one can't get finished before another one just begs for a chance. When I have a yard of fabric, 27" gets cut for the body of the pillow case. So I need 9" from another yard for the cuff. Now I have 27 inches left over from that second yard! Can you see where this ...

Face Masks ~~ finishes from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

Yesterday's SQI was about making cloth face masks for health care workers and patients since there appears to be quite a shortage. Today the president said there would be ample supplies shortly, including face masks. I won't argue with the president. I'll just say I've made a few masks and have plans to make more.

These four are for my sister, Laura. Her chemo treatments wreak havoc with her immune system, and she must wear a mask every time she goes outside.

I realize that she'll probably need to wear the CDC approved masks while ...

The Perfect Zippered & Lined Bag from Where Art & Life Meet

I love a good zippered pouch. Preferably one that I can take on an airplane, large enough for a tablet or small sketch book, a needle roll, small pair of scissors, and project, but not so large that it becomes cumbersome. I began looking around at what is already out there and found many lovely… Continue reading The Perfect Zippered & Lined Bag

A simple little project ~ from Marty's Fiber Musings

On such a cold, rain filled day, something to keep away the blues ~

In keeping with my quest to reduce plastic and paper waste, this little goodie bag just fit my need to demonstrate the art of gift wrapping without waste. This fabric gift bag for your Valentine's Day sweetheart is large enough to hold candy kisses, a tube of the reddest red lip gloss or even diamond earrings. Look - no paper or plastic waste - using scraps of fabric instead. The simplest things keep me smiling. How fun to make these two goodie gift bags in under 20 minutes.
