Just so I have something to show you today, how about a close-up of the snow area on the current landscape? Currently I'm working on the sky and it's entirely done by hand using waste canvas. There will be lots of unpicking of canvas threads coming up! It's not fit to show you yet though.
Just a reminder of the 'Starving Artist half-price sale'
on landscapes that's happening until Feb. 7th.
Go HERE to see what's available!

- Those of you who are knitters might appreciate having a copy of THIS handy.
- Perhaps you might like to make THIS?
- You know those silicone 'pads' you can get to set your hot iron on? Try using one under your sewing machine food pedal so it doesn't keep walking away. I can attest that it works!
- HERE is another nifty little thing that will be helpful around your sewing machine.
Today's quote is from Helen Keller..."Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties"
Thanks for sharing those links with all of us. That tote bag is wonderful. I think that is something I would love to make.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Glad you found something interesting in the links Jackie!
DeleteGosh that sky is coming along so beautifully!! I spent the afternoon starting my Block 2 of Dark Days (Comfort Quilt SAL).
ReplyDeleteTiny little hand sewn wonky log cabins in an interesting setting...fun so far--we'll see how it goes...hugs, julierose
Oops - I should have mentioned that the section I'm showing in the photo is actually the snow...sorry!
DeleteI always enjoy seeing a close-up of your hand stitching, Mary Anne. Going to catch up backwards and see what I've been missing for the last few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI think I enjoy the hand stitching the most. Must be my crazy quilting background that influences me.
DeleteLove the sky!
ReplyDeleteNice quote, being invincible is a goal against unhappiness. The pipe cleaner gadget is a keeper.
I really must be a terrible artist, because it's not sky - it's supposed to be the snow area. Oh well, I tried. Maybe when I show the whole thing it will be more obvious.
DeleteI like the snow in your new project - and we're getting more of it here today.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have this kind of snow than the real stuff. We got more today too.
DeleteMA: Love this quilt, looking forward to seeing your progress, and the finished design.
ReplyDeleteCatherine❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's going to take awhile before it's done but that's okay - I enjoy the process.
DeleteMA: I like this quilt, so sorry for having to rip out the canvas. looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteCatherine❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes, picking out the canvas isn't exactly the funnest part, but it does what I need it to so it's worth it.
DeleteIntriguing. Noticing what looks like a root on the bottom left? So glad you are back at it.
ReplyDeleteNot a root, but cracks in the wallpaper on the inside wall.
