Hello Hello! I’ve been having a lot of fun with my DVD blog tour, but phew! Adding this to everything else on the plate and my time to read blogs has just vanished into thin air! But I know how many makers are working their fingers to the bone, and rejoicing in the fact that…
Yup, I started this Tuesday morning, and I was taking pictures Wednesday at 6 pm! (OK, I’ve still got to add the label and hand stitch the bottom of the rod pocket) I’m happy, it looks about like what I imagined it. I hemmed and hawed for about 10-15 minutes over sashing, no sashing, but…
Well, I’ve finally begun work on a quilt that’s been percolating in my mind for like 2 years now! I love my botanical sketches and have wanted to make a larger quilt made of them. I actually had some blocks that were the reverse of some pillows I made back in May, and was planning on turning…

They have this really fun set of small classes sponsored by Cloth Paper Scissors called Make it University. Here’s how it works (text from their website): The fee for each workshop is $10,…
Hooray! Blogger’s Quilt Festival is here! I had grand plans of sewing a new quilt just for this festival, but it was not to be. May is just the craziest month, and it seems like more stuff gets piled into it every year. After sulking for awhile, I remembered that one of the best parts…
I finished these pillows last Friday just in time to snap some pix of them. They look exactly as I hoped they would; I Love it when that happens!
One of my motifs I love to return to again and again is my botanical sketching. I’ve been wanting and wanting to make a larger pieced quilt of these, as well as pillows. I had some time yesterday and just DID it!I can just see a whole series of them, lined up along a shelf…
My name is Candy Glendening...and I’m addicted to color! I dye fabric so I can have just the hue & texture I want, and then use it to make art quilts and “everyday art”.
