Hi Everyone,
I made 6 blocks over the weekend in an effort to catch up on the FWQAL:
|
Farmer's Wife Block #7 |
|
Farmer's Wife Block #8 |
|
Farmer's Wife Block #9 |
|
Farmer's Wife Block #10 |
|
Farmer's Wife Block #11 |
|
Farmer's Wife Block #12 |
Now I think I just have to do 4 this week to be caught up to the rest of the group... I am really enjoying making these especially with my new old machine :)
Since I showed you all this:
I have had a lot of requests for tutorials and the like. I would so love to do that, unfortunately I learned this in a class and the person I learned from only had one stipulation, that we not teach others. She said we can sell what we make with her techniques but not teach because that is what she does. I totally respect that. So if you want to take her class here is a link:

I also wanted to give you a free source of inspiration, I know sometimes it is hard to come up with a few extra dollars to do something that you might not even like once you start... I like to save my money for fabric too :) ... so please check out one of the most creative women I have ever seen.... (okay you scrapbookers already know her I am sure) Her name is
Donna Downey and she is really amazing. High energy and so much fun to watch. On her blog (at the link) you will find a link on the left side to Inspiration Wednesdays, every Wednesday she does a video post with some piece of art she works on... it will give you so many ideas... once she did a whole week full and I watched everyday. I find inspiration for sewing everywhere and this is no exception. As with anything enter this world at your own risk... it is an expensive hobby :)
So why is it happy Monday?
Because I found out that Heirlooma nd Pernilla's Journey will be here on Friday... yay! So many pretty fabrics.
Have a great day!
Talk soon...

ReplyDeleteLoving the look of your FWQAL blocks!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to drooling over Pernilla's Journey too :)
You have been a block making fanatic lately, good for you! And they all look great. And thanks for the art links, I'm thinking about taking one of those classes. I'm started to get interested in art journalling and this may be a good next step for me. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I missed this post. I'm thinking (very hard!) about enrolling in Christy's class, as these canvases would make awesome Christmas gifts! Did you take the class in person or online? :)
ReplyDeleteI still haven't signed up for the Christy Tomlinson class. But I did just get Donna Downey's video on the Pan Pastels. Did you see that? I love her blog, too. She is totally creative and awesome.
