I am working away on this sunny, breezy day… learning more about my camera creating backdrops for the toys that I will photograph in the book making my house kosher for Passover cooking for the Seder tonight (we are going to our friend's house this year, but we are bringing tsimmes, hard boiled eggs, the…
felt butterflies
I finished the felt butterflies for National Nonwovens' booth at spring Quilt Market. I made a second large one (12" across) and two smaller ones (6" across). This was such a fun project. Butterflies are something I would never have thought to make without a special request. When I opened the box of felt on…
Learning Photography and Making Butterflies
This week I was in touch with National Nonwovens, wholesale purveryors of the lovely wool-blend felt I have been working with. You can buy their felt retail at Wool Felt Central. Melissa, felt-crafter extraordinaire, originally recommended their felt to me and I have loved working with it these past few months. The colors are so…
getting started
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm about my new book deal. I could not be more excited. And a bit overwhelmed. I have a lot of work to do, but it is the very best kind of work and I am ready. Or, I should say, I am getting ready. First, I have to…
the penguin family is growing
Another member was added today. I like playing with these guys. You can put them in all different positions in relation to one another and make up little narratives. "Will these eggs ever hatch?" "I'm not so sure I want a sister or brother anyway."
the penguin chick
The penguin chick is done. I didn't make him fluffy, at least not yet. My gray roving doesn't match my gray felt. I think I like the unfluffly look anyway. Roxanne wants you to know that this adult penguin is not the same species of penguin as this chick. She can identify every species of…
A family of penguins
I am working on a family of felt penguins for a group show I will be part of at bookhou in Toronto in July. The show will be called "Winged Migration" and will include work by Gennine Zlatkis, Abigail Brown, Margie Oomen, and Arounna Khounnoraj. I'm very excited. I wanted to try making my birds…
And the winner is…
The winner of the Anatomy of a Doll eBook is… #21 Hilda who said, "I'd love a chance to win the ebook. Right now I'm up to my eyeballs quilting donation quilts, but hope to work on a bird softie soon." Congratulations, Hilda, and I hope you really enjoy the book. C&T publishing will be…
a new bird in time for spring
I made a springtime bird last night. It is now up in my shop. I am most likely going to be teaching a fabric bird-making workshop at The Button Box quilt shop here in Wellesley on Saturday, April 30, from 10am-4pm. These are the birds that we will make. If you live nearby I hope…
a lion just for fun
It had been a while since I made something that wasn't for a show or a workshop or a book, something just for fun. I wanted to try the stalking leopard pattern as a lion. I shrunk the pattern down 85% and made it in wool felt. And added the mane, of course. He is…
