Not everything is either black or white!!

Hi everyone!

When I was asked to make a special order of throw pillows, I was only given the instructions to use Fleur de Lis and black & white. Incorporating some red just seemed to be a natural thing to do!! Using different textures and materials, I not only had fun, but it once again so illustrates how creating things, whether on canvas or using fabric requires the same type of creative process. This project really put my "fabric artist" skills to the test and yet I cannot wait to try something new. With so many holidays just around the corner, you will just have to wait and see what is next on my agenda!!

Enjoy this truly wintry week!!

Hugs,
Jen

Children are a gift from God!!

Hi everyone!

Children are truly a gift from God, which makes designing things for them such an honor and a joy!! This baby quilt is one of the most exciting things that I have done. A friend asked me yesterday if I had a pattern; no, I made the three embroidered pieces and then just played with fabric after that until I had a look that I liked...but in this case I just LOVED the outcome!! My precious new baby cousin has fun parents who also love art, so they are also thrilled with there gift!!

Recently I was described as a "fabric artist." I just loved that and so embrace using fabric and mixed media for my creations. Because they are unique it makes each one an exciting new adventure!!!

It is only Saturday, I have the whole weekend to make more fun things!!

See you soon!

Hugs!
