A Walk in the Woods...Aneela Hoey

Have you seen these "layer cakes" from Moda....Aneela Hoey?? It is called "a walk in the woods"....The fabric has Little Red Riding Hood....the quality of the fabric is great....I love all the animals...birds....looks similiar to the Japanese fabrics. Check out Aneela's blog....comfortstitching.typepad....and we sell these layer cakes at fiberologie....

And look at what I made with my layer cake.....this quilt was very fun to make...I did a version of the "Urban Garden".....

My Art Challenge Group...

I feel very fortunate that I belong to a "little" art group that gives us challenges every month...

The challenge for last month was :

Men's Tie

The tie's were thrown out on the table....

and here is my creation...

His name is "geoffrey beene"....his label of course is sewn on his back...

I found a free pattern online and shrunk it down to fit onto the lining of the tie. (his body)

Then I just made him some clothes from the actual silk tie.

Think about joining an art group....you'd be surprised what you'll make!

A Tisket a Tasket.....look at my Basket...

The finished basket will look great with all my eggs....Try something new this spring!

Basket weaving is harder than you think...

We built the structure of the "hen" basket, then soaked the reed that was dyed, then we wove and wove ...

Happy Spring....Easter's on it's way...

This Easter I have woven a basket for my fabric eggs....thanks to a wonderful workshop from Bonnie Bowman....we got to retreat to her amazing studio....filled with fibers and reed....

Hello...Happy Spring!!!

I can't believe Easter is just around the corner....

Last year we were busy making fabric Easter eggs...
