Another snowflake to share

Image
I have so much fun creating these snowflakes!  I also have a number of ideas for ways I want to use them in my art.  I am hoping that one of my ideas comes together in time for an upcoming show.  Please feel free to use this snowflake.  I would love to see what you do with it!

Work in Progress Wednesday

Yesterday was the Grand Guild of Fibre Artists meeting.  I decided to bring my fibre book for show and tell.  I was very pleased with the favorable comments even though the book is very much in progress.  The comments spurred me into action.  I really enjoyed working on more pages and feel pleased with my progress.

I mostly stayed with a color theme for shopping.  They are my favorite colors.  I probably already have way too much of these colors in my stash but oh well.  It makes me happy!  I figure I can do a project with these purchases and it will always remind me of the wonderful trip. The four pieces of fabric I bought at B&J on 7th.  They are silk chiffon and silk organza.  Oh how I love silk!  It was a nice store, helpful staff. The silk ribbons in the upper left corner are from Mood.  Yes, I got to see Swatch the dog.  Again helpful staff.  It is a busy store and well worth going there.  The prices on the silk ribbons were good. Just below the silk ribbons are some trims that I bought at Daytona Braids and Trimmings on 39th.  It is a small store that is jam p...

Work in Progress Wednesday

It is increasingly difficult to have work in progress at this time of year.  However I did manage to get a bit done.  These are three crazy quilt blocks from my projects this year.  I got them stitched together and one of the seams decorated.  I can see where some improvements can be made.  Not sure when that will get done though.
