Hugs and Kisses for Valentine's Day February 03 2018

With Valentine's Day less than 2 weeks away here is a great wall hanging or table center that sends a message of LOVE with Hugs and Kisses (Xs & Os)! Notice how some of the Os are replaced with a ring of 3-Dimensional lips, see the images below. The pattern is a variation on the Tic-Tac-Toe game/theme and is a great Valentine's Day decoration and conversation piece. Click here (or below on the images) to find this $7.00 Thimble-art pattern as a digital download. As a download you will receive it in plenty of time to get it sewn for someone you love. If you need a little help make sure you check out my instructional YouTube video for the Hugs and Kisses pattern by clicking here.

Valentine's Day Idea January 26 2018

With Valentine's Day just a couple of weeks away. I thought I would share a fun idea that can be done with little time and money, but makes a memorable gift. Using the free Love Bear pattern (see below) found here on the Thimble-art Web site. You can download the pattern, quickly sew it up (if you need sewing tips on this Love Bear make sure you watch my free Love Bear YouTube video), and then personalize it with your favorite Sweethearts saying. Here I share a few of my favorite Sweethearts sayings.

Blue Lemon October 05 2017

I started using my experience with color and tried oil painting. I have a long way to go, but I want to fine tune my eye. I have it available to buy on at art website. I thought I would quilt in between painting to break up the creativity. I will also try to blog a little more often. Here is my new listing:

Sunflower Centerpiece January 08 2017

Here is another centerpiece I hope you will enjoy. It takes over 20 attempt on each design before I feel good enough to share it. Fortunately, it doesn't take very much fabric to retry. I love the Sunflower and how it reminds us to always look to the light. This year has been hard on our family and the Sunflower reminds me to remember all of the good. May this new year be good to you!
