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…
I made a few pillows this weekend, inspired by some cute buttons. I developed some new botanical sketches from the flowers on them: and came up with new color combos inspired by them as well. These are in an ever growing pile of things to pack for Cleveland. Even with all the stuff I’ve…
I’ve been thinking a lot about my botanical sketches lately, I’d like to add some new flowers to my sketchbook. I was out in the backyard, photographing a couple of scarves, and lo and behold, the fennel flowers in our garden looked incredible. I thought I’d share them with you.
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…
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…
I’ve been showing you my work on a quilt commissioned by a man for his wife, who works in a windowless office (Her last name is Larsen, and she works in Larsen Hall – crazy coincidence!). The idea and construction craziness is described here, my color choices and design process blogged here, and yesterday I showed…
This week, I’ve been taking you through my process of creating a window of my botanical sketches for a customer whose wife has a windowless office. I explain the idea and construction craziness here, and show you my color choices and design process here. Time for some glamour close ups! These are all 6″ x 8″, I…
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”.
