I think we can all agree that the world was a strange place last spring when I was making this wintery quilt. I've discussed before that I'm often working on magazine projects wildly 'out of season' and the constraints of the Covid-19 lockdown just added to the surreality of it all. But it was was enormously comforting to loose myself in its making: in assembling a stack of fabric; in balancing print scales and shades of red; in the rhythm of piecing the blocks; in the arranging - and rearrangin
I love using fusible web for applique. It’s so fun and easy and adds such a different dimension to projects that often couldn’t be done any other way. I don’t know about you, but whenever I have to refill my personal fusible web supply, I find myself in front of the interfacing rack at a fabric…

Last Sunday I went out to shoot a landscape and the evening didn't work out so well for me. It kind of put me into a funk. So tonight in an effort to get out of that funk, I'm looking through my work to find some gems I haven't processed. Here's another angle of Sweetbriar Falls from a couple weeks ago.
In August I made up a little Etsy site to see if I could get a little free business exposure. It’s become quite a fun little hobby! I’m only selling my patterns as PDFs, so orders are simple to fill (just an email, not a whole package to put together) and without shipping expenses my…

Our botanical and bird prints each come in three sizes: 5x7, 8x10, and 11x14. Our fish prints also come in 3 sizes, but slightly different: 6x9, 9x12, and 12x16. These prints are all available plain, matted, and framed with or without mats, with the exception that 5x7 and 6x9 are not available framed without mats. About Frame Sizes Frames are designated and referred to by the size of their opening, NOT by their outside dimensions. This is the industry convention and makes standardizing frames easier. An 8x10 frame is an 8x10 frame is an 8x10 frame, regardless of whether the frame molding is half an inch wide or 3" wide. Any frame described as an 8x10 has an opening sized to fit an 8x10 print or photo perfectly. Print Size Matted Size No Mat/Frame* Mat/Frame* 5x7 8x10 N/A 8x10 8x10 11x14 8x10 11x14 11x14 16x20 11x14/13x16 16x20 6x9 9x12 N/A 9x12 9x12 12x16 9x12 12x16 12x16 16x20 12x16 16x20 *Add 2" to each number to calculate outside frame dimensions for our frames. If using your own frame, add 2x its molding width to each number. How much Wall Space? To know the true amount of wall space a framed print will occupy, you must add the width of the frame molding on all sides to the standard designated size of the frame. The molding width of all the frames we sell is approximately 1". Therefore, you must add 2" (1" left and right, 1" top and bottom) to each dimension to get the finished size: 8x10 is really 10x12, 11x14 is really 13x16, 16x20 is really 18x22, etc.

Here’s my latest painting! I’m so glad it’s finished. Painting a striped bowl is possibly one of the most annoying things in the whole world! Won’t do that again. My stripes still aren’t right and I just don’t care! At some point it’s just time to move on. The sad thing about getting super annoyed…

A common symptom of ME/CFS is Brain Fog. It’s nothing like anything I’d ever experienced before I got sick, so it’s hard to describe it. It’s like whatever is connecting my brain to the rest of my body gets detached. My reflexes get slow, and my mind gets confused. No huge deal when I’m at…
