So, I’ve been sewing and dyeing my fingers off…not much time to blog, but I know I’ll appreciate documenting this stuff a year or so from now, so I’m going to quickly post things made in the past week so they are documented in some way! First up, I sold Scoutie-bird’s House #1 from the art gallery…
Whoa, nellie! I sorta dropped off the blog-o-sphere! Last minute art for my featured artist corner + last week of classes + holiday boutique show yesterday = NO TIME to BLOG! Here ‘s a few shots from my featured artist exhibit at the RAA. As you enter the front door of the gallery, the panel that greets…
Well, I’ve been busy, busy, busy finishing SOME of the pieces I wanted to hang in my featured artist corner. I thought I’d give you a peek at how I constructed it: After marking out the size with pins in the corners (I had some stretcher bars to make a piece 30″ x 40″ on…
This was the month to prep for my upcoming featured artist show at the Redlands Art Association December 4-27, and as I blogged yesterday, I had to install that show early (please note, this was only possible because a wee bit of emergency surgery for my little one cancelled our trip back east). It’s not at…

Here’s my entry for the 3rd Blogger’s Quilt Festival, brainchild of the ever awesome Amy of Amy’s Creative Side. What I love about the focus of this festival is the emphasis on what the story behind the quilt – such a neat way to encourage folks of all skills to join in, because there are…
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write about the inspiration I get from the work of Heather Moore, a.k.a. Skinny LaMinx! She’s an illustrator and designer living in Cape Town, South Africa. She has a very distinctive style to her screenprinted fabric, and she sells yardage, as well as cushion covers, teatowels…
Indulge me! I had some more time today, so I took my wee birdies outside for some more photos: As a reminder, this bird is made from a pattern Terry Grant of “And Sew it Goes” published in Quilt Scene magazine last year. Her birds are FANTASTIC, and I’m so happy to be jumping into…
One of the motifs I’m been working in for the past year or so is birds, lots of birds! I’ve really wanted to expand my birds to that 3rd dimension. You saw a bit of that in my 3-d birdhouse I was in a rush to make last week: I’d like to make some birds…
Earlier in the week, I told you about a group of 3 pieces I rushed to finish to enter in the Multi Media Mini Show at my local Art association. They are all based off a spectacular piece of my hand dyed fabric (if I do say so myself, I’m so sorry I didn’t take…
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”.
