Going somewhere is Finished on Free Motion Mavericks
from Quilting & Learning
Welcome to week 417 of Free Motion Mavericks! I hope that you've had a chance to play since I last posted. When I began this piece, I had no idea that it would end up being free motion quilted (FMQ). I think that the FMQ added a lot to it. I'll let you judge this for yourself.
"Going somewhere..."
This piece began, as many of them do, with a workshop on TextileArtists.org. I haven't had time to do as many workshops as I would like, but this one grabbed my attention. It took me a while ...

Project Quilting 14.1 and Slow Sunday stitching
from Quilting & Learning
Hi, Project Quilting, season 14 has started again. The first theme is "The First One". I just had time to make a quick piece. I'm also working on a new slow stitching project.
The First One for Project Quilting
The theme brought me to think of "one" which can be alone but also unique. That's where my thinking stopped!
I found a beautiful, unique piece of hand-marbled fabric that was gifted to me.

Planning for 2023
from Quilting & Learning
Thank you Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl for hosting this great linking party again this year. Hopefully it will help keep me focused. Last year I minimized my plans for 2022. Of course it didn't all get done but that's ok because that's what planning is all about. For 2023, I'm keeping it as simple and general as possible. My intention for 2023: learn by playing, with mindfulness and contentment QuiltsThis category is more specific because of my promises to get these projects done. I'm very hopeful of completing these and they'll provide great ... read moreDecember 18, 2022

from Quilting & Learning
Hi! I hope that this weekend finds you well. I have a slow stitching project to share with you today.

Embroideries in hoops
from Quilting & Learning
I've been doing some slow stitching in the last few weeks. It's always such a relaxing thing to do. Stitching a second seascapeLast month, I wrote a post about Embroidering a seascape. It was based on TextileArtist.org's workshop with Bethany Duffy (see Related links below). I decided that I wanted to go further with this technique since it's a lot of fun and since I changed it up a little, was able to learn a new beading technique read moreSeptember 13, 2022

Let Them Flourish is finished!
from Quilting & Learning
If you've been following me on Instagram, you've seen lots of images of the progress of this piece. Lately I've been adding a gazillion French Knots, finishing up the beading and then finally mounting it on a fabric-covered canvas. Let Them Flourish - Ready for Exhibition
In the Beginning This piece started off as a fabric collage of images related to Biodiversity, the theme that was given to us as part of the February 2021 TextileArtist.org's Stitch Club workshop. Kate Tume, our instructor, had us exploring narrative potential with embellishment.

Best and Worst of Times
from Quilting & Learning
It's finally finished! My fabric concertina book, Best and Worst of Times is done. The workshop with Mandy Pattullo through TextileArtist.org was held in July 2020. Considering the amount of stitching in the book, a year and a quarter is not that long! lol Fabric Concertina BookThe book is the story of the last two years. It goes from being full of fear to eventually finding joy. It's also bilingual (English and French) except for the title and end pages. The front page is written in chain stitch on one of my first hand-dyed gray fabrics ... read moreSeptember 29, 2021
Eco Printing - Take 2
from Quilting & Learning
In February of this year, I did some eco printing based on Caroline Nixon's workshop for TextileArtists.com. If you don't remember the post, it's because it was never written. Last weekend I decided that I would take a second stab at it since I love the results of eco printing. Here is what I learned
