I have said it 100x. If you aren’t having fun while being creative, you just aren’t doing it right. Lord…I crack myself up sometimes. I saw an Alien face hugger leather mask yesterday that was to die for…It was amazing. I went to bed thinking just HOW FUNNY it would be to wear it out. […]
Hi Everyone…this is a stressful time and that calls for some artsy de-stressing. On Facebook, Im doing some live videos on Thursdays at 1PM EST using art. Any sort of art. I am going to imbed them here on this blog weekly if you enjoy that sort of thing! Love to all! Bethanne By special […]
I am working with my local hospital network that serves the 800,000 people living in my valley and beyond to galvanize the sewing community to make cloth face masks that they plan to use to cover their limited supply of N95 masks. As the national need and desire for a homemade mask has increased over […]
Well, really just the un-fun labor part. Not the making babies part. Which is a drag. Im so excited to FINALLY make my yarn couching DVD and On-Line class available to everyone! You can order a pre-sale of the DVD here (shipping in about 3 weeks, upon it’s arrival on my doorstep from the manufacturer) […]
I think I may have crossed some dark and terrible line lately. I’m totally consumed with making yarn couching jackets. I have made 6 or 7 and I have LITERALLY 12 or more “blank” coats on a rack waiting for the right combination of inspiration and time. I do enjoy wearing them, but it is […]
This jacket has been almost 18 months in the making. I started out great…with a wonderful plan of a Queen Ann’s Lace border treatment adorning this AMAZING fit and flair pink tweed spring jacket with eastern bluebirds winging in. I started by using the same approach that had worked for me with my octopus jacket…loading […]
Well. No. Of course not. But it does contribute nastily to my squirrel syndrome. When I first put tiny swag trim on my show quilt Gilding the Arbor back in 2012 I had no idea I was standing on the edge of a rabbit hole. My next show quilt, Shell Collector had the first version […]
Well, no, not hardly…but I’m a terrible Lord of the Rings nut…so there you go. If you don’t know already….I MADE A THING. I am pretty surprised at myself actually, deciding to make my own line of rulers. But, several things have pushed me into it. I am actually a pretty low maintenance quilter. That […]
I love Halloween. For lots of reasons. My first born child…a bright and fantastic son, about to turn 18 and go off to college in a few months came into the world on trick-or-treat. Must have been all the chocolate I ate! This time of year is always a lot of fun for me. I […]
Honestly…I have no place in my home for a 55″ wide bench. And my cats are murder on vinyl or leather. I have no business making something like this…but it is in my head, I have the skills to do it, therefore I make. (Shrug). I literally have no plan for this beyond the fun […]
