I’ve got more fun news to share! This July 29-31 International Quilt Festival comes to Long Beach, which is just about 90 minutes from my house. 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,…
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…
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…
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…
Yesterday I posted about a group of 3 new pieces I made for a juried art show at the Redlands Art Association (the only criteria, 14.5″ or less in every dimension). After making the tree, I decided to continue the same color scheme and explore my theme in different dimensions. I love my Branch &…
If you’ve been reading here for awhile, you know that my hubby is the chef and the family. When it’s my turn to cook, it’s leftovers or something really simple (cereal anyone?) (Please note, I am a pretty good baker, but should be our main source of eating!) Anyway, Amy from Park City Girl is…
Well, I’ve really had fun with this little series, and I hope it shows! I’ve had some great comments from y’all this week, so if you’d like to buy one or more of these little gems, make sure to read through to the end of the post, where there are details on how my blog…
Finally – here are the navy! I’ve been having great fun with photographing all the birds in all sorts of configurations…tune in tomorrow to see them!
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”.
