Hand Piecing Clergy Stole Side 2 Progress

Organizing my batik remnants yielded a few

green Apple core remnants from other projects. 

I hand pieced them and am now

had sewing them down for Side 2 of 

of  this Clergy Stole. 

It will make a great gift for a recent Seminary Graduate

or Clergy.

Quilted Art Christmas Tree Re-purposed

Artists appreciate hand made art. 

I wish I had taken a photo of the original fabric 

of this Christmas Tree that I purchased a few years ago.

I really liked the idea even though it was an odd color of green

with gold buttons.  Since I prefer to decorate with silver and blue,

this year

I decided to refashion the tree using the old shape as my pattern.

Now it's quilted from blue batik fabric, white buttons,

 wood repainted black and topped with a silver bow.

Ahh, it's ready for next Christmas!

Merry Christmas - Quilted Art Nativity

This Quilted Art Nativity Sold last Christmas.

Created when I was part of a Miniature Quilt Group as a monthly

challenge to paper piece one section a month.  

My style is more improvisational now

but this composition is still special to me.

Slow Stitching Seed Stitch

Although I don't have a specific purpose

for this Seed Stitched Oak Leaf yet,

I am certain it will become part of an upcoming composition.

This is the last of the prepared

hand embroidery "kits" I had ready for times

when I am waiting.

Fiber Art Mounting Technique

I've been following Melody Johnson's blog for some time 

and was excited when she began mounting her smaller

Fiber Art pieces a new way.  

Cheap Joe's Art Stuff opened locally recently

so I am going to give Melody's method a try.

And be sure to check out her inspiring Fiber Art.

Clergy Stole Completed

Earlier this year I took the challenge from Crazy Mom Quilts

to re-purpose  tiny remnants and create "new" fabric from them.

The  Scrap Vortex QAL  fabric I created has found it's way again into 

this Reversible  Clergy Stole Side 1.

Side 2 of this Clergy Stole incorporated 2 of the 

 Hand Embroidered Seed Stitched

Oak & Poppy leaves

that I stitched over Thanksgiving

along with Green batik fabrics.  

There's also some Hand stamped  and discharged areas.

Time For A New Quilted Purse

After machine quilting the batik fabric components

similar to the 

 "Cupcake" Maruca Sling Bag that I purchased 

from a local gallery last year,  

 I fiddled with the design a bit more and 

created another black and white cross body purse

for myself. 

 It's similar to the 

oyed the size and function so much that I've

 red and  green ones

I made earlier although a bit larger for my phone.

I am very blessed to meet with a small group of Artists

where we encourage each other,

spur one another forward and 

sometimes spend the evening 

creating something fun

like these fabric bead necklaces.

Jodi's green and brown necklace

and my red batik (of course) beads

embellished with buttons and beads.
