Now Available on Etsy

Some of the kitchen cabinet knobs leftover from my kitchen are now available on Etsy. I may even make more, they are fun to make. (But not right now, haven't been in the studio now for nearly four months and counting.)

Oops! Fix that one Quick!

I'm working on a little quilt on canvas stretchers inspired by the amazing Melody Johnson.  Check out her blog if you haven't already!  Only problem was, when I stood back to take a look at this lil bugga... all I saw was a great big swastica.  Crimeny!  

Sooo... I looked at it for a bit and decided it needed more flowers.  And so I made some flower type things, took another step back and decided that it was in dire need of buttons!

  So I added buttons and a little bit of hand work.  Sewing through canvas isn't all that easy so I didn't do much of that.  But check out how this looks fused to a gallery style 12 x 12 canvas.  I'm lovin Melody's canvas idea and I'm tickled by how the extra flowers add texture.

It turns out to be a relentlessly cheerful little floral thingi.  Do you think the swastika is gone enough?  I still see it but it's better than it was.  Oh, and I'm still getting used to machine quilting on my (new to me) antique Singer sewing machine, I'll get the hang of that one of these days.  This was a very interesting experiment, I'll do this again sometime!
