I printed some of my watercolors onto cotton sateen at #spoonflower and it arrived today. My plan was to use it as backrounds for my #quilteddiamonds Spoonflower has an option where you can fill two yards with 9 inch squares of different art. This is cool because sometimes you don’t want a while yard of one thing. So here it is and I love it and now I don’t want to cut it up. #art #fabric #maker #print #makeyourown #quilter

My premiere and only #memademay #memademay2019 is my #pantsno1 made with once and former Ralph Lauren duvet. For who could resist making pants from that fabric?

I found this “kit” that I made while looking for something else. It is done in ikea fabric. A find! Wooly flaps on the side are to hold cut out blocks. I love making sewing kits and planning projects. #sewingkit #sewist #stitcher. #handsewersofinstagram #handstitching #maker #makingplans

Sometimes things get misplaced in the world. I have been sifting through books and fabric and found this assembly tucked away in a kit I made with some lovely fabric that I had kitted altogether for something that I never made. The thimble and cage are from a distant and dear friend and the beads were strung by my dear aunt Suzy who passed away too many years ago to fathom. I miss them both.
