Saturday, March 30, 2013 at 5:00AM This week on the worktable: Using the last of my favorite reclaimed quilt remnants to make some new art journals. It must be time to go quilt hunting again!
Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 6:01AM Working on a few new vintage quilt notebook covers. These are refillable and hold a 3.5 x 5 inch miniature composition notebook. The inside flap also has a small elastic loop to hold your favorite pen, pencil or paintbrush!
These new vintage quilted goodies are available in my etsy store ! Enjoy !
Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 6:00AM Have I ever mentioned I have a sweet addiction to fabric? Nah - never I am sure! Especially the cool raggedly vintage stuff. Pulled out of the dryer, after a fresh wash, it is more raggedy and yummier than ever.
Random, doodle style stitching just makes it all the yummier -
These chunky pieces of fabric make lovely fabric art journals. 
This one is headed to Montana.
Monday, January 28, 2013 at 6:00AM Since I have had some inquiries as to "where have the fabric art journals gone" I decided to sit down and whip up a few more. I love using old quilt remnants and then spicing them up with a bright and silky flower and a few wool stitched leaves.
Vintage buttons, colorful doodled stitching and upcycled hankies add character to this little travel size journal. Great for popping into your bag or purse!
Look for more to come!

I was happy to stumble across this very weary old vintage quilt. I love her worn feeling, her soft colors. I knew she would make the perfect quilt for the new vintage quilt block gadget cases I have been working on.
Hand dyed velvet and fabric covered buttons add a bit of old world charm.
These are available in my Etsy Store.

and planning has never been so pretty.
... ALMOST AS MUCH AS I LOVE PLANNING !
Every year I look forward to the day when the upcoming new year's planner will be released on the store shelves. I love planning. I love lists, notes, and agendas. All sizes. All shapes. But the past few years I have noticed that I have been purchasing a planner that is smaller than years' past. I like the size that I can toss into my backpack or totebag or purse easily. I think it might be 8" x 5" or something close to that. Big enough I can SEE what I am writing in it but small enough it fits in my bag.
And you wanna know the best part? It is refillable - like these.
Every year I can just pop out the old one and place the new one in it's place.

There is something about pretty. Something that makes you want to have more pretty. For as much as I used my art journal, I wanted to love it every time I picked it up - and not just the inside, but the outside as well. And so this ART JOURNAL COVER was born. I did not buy one thing for this project. I used bits and pieces of {pretty} from all around the studio...
...each castoff speaking to who I am. A piece of quilt, so worn and threadbare, and yet I do not have the heart to toss it away. Broken bits of favorite jewelry, beyond repair. Pieces of yarn, the reward after a long day in the dye kitchen. Scrapbook trinkets, plucked from a box marked - Rummage Sale. Spools of thread, ready to unravel, little left to offer. Damaged silken petals, still beautiful in their color and sheen. Leather leftovers, stained and painted...
...and I love it.
I love each and every piece of "trash". Each morsel, another reminder of the things I use, the goods I surround myself with, create with - the things I love.
