Hi to all, I writing today to get the news out about Linda Matthews an artist and teacher of textile art. She has just published a book on her cording methods. Doesn't sound interesting, well you should she what wonderful art she creates and then binds it with a special cording method. The price is only $9.95 and she takes Paypal. Visit her site www.Linda-matthews.com It's on my favorite links page.
It's been very hot in North Carolina which is slowing the growth of shrubbery and vines. There is not much prune or cut back right now. |

I believe in the last five years I have read at least 12 methods for making an art quilt. For instance, Cynthia England fractures her scenes into very small pieces then machine stitches them with a 1/4 " seam allowance. Her work is art and its beautiful. I had a brief moment when I thought I might use the method but it was just a fleeting thought. I am not a quilter who wants to work hard, just insightfully.
Mary PQ uses blown up photographs that are traced onto tracing paper then the pieces are cut out to make templates. |

I discovered themoss stitchthe other day and tried it out. It will work excellent in producing an image and texture for graveled roads. It could also be used for the fur of small animals. Start by threading your machine with monofilment thread and up the tension. Wind your bobbin by hand or machine with heavy variegated thread. Do not place the bobbin thread through your tension spring. Just lay an appropriate length of thread on top of the bobbin holder. Replace cover. |
