ART JOURNALING

A few years ago I bought a large artist's sketch book, 11x 14.  It is huge and has a lot of pages.  I think I blogged about it years ago.  I keep pictures from magazines in it that I like.  I started doing some art journaling....doodling in it and now I don't like it as much. So I am going to refine some of the doodling.  I may even color copy some of the pages and re-do them.  The next art journal  I am working on  is mostly collage.

 

My friend Teresa asked me about art journaling.  Here is the link to my previous post from a year or two.  It really is just cutting "stuff" up, pasting it someplace, and doodling around it and making an ARTFUL mess on paper to keep your brain occupied.  

VALENTINE BOOKMARKS

I am making these!  

Here is where you can get the instructions.....they should be easy!

SNICKERDOODLE QUILT

Here is my finished SNICKERDOODLE quilt.  The pattern is Cotton Way, find it here! The fabric is Bonnie and Camille's (they are the Cotton Way and Thimble Blossom ladies from Moda.)  This is their newest fabric, Vintage Modern. I said in my other post that I put their flannel on the back...........OH MY GOODNESS, it is INCREDIBLE!!  You must get some.  I waited until it was on sale and I am not sorry!  Not too heavy, but OH SO SOFT!!

A TISKET A TASKET

I know these may not look too exciting right now....

But they are going to be a darling quilt......called, A Tisket A Tasket a pattern from Primitive Pieces by Lynda.....I have had this pattern for 6+ years. I LOVE it. I get it out and look at it a lot....FINALLY, I am making it!

You MUST check out LYNDA's web site....she has the most WONDERFUL primitive things. I do think most of her patterns would be so darling even in brighter fabrics or pastels.....

So, when I get this all together....it may take a while as I am working on it during my Wednesday sewing days....and need something to get me through the January-February....stay tuned for the progress.
