I’ve been working on some convertible totes and nesting baskets, now I’ve got to write up the patterns. These are headed to be photographed tomorrow: I’ve got to get the patterns written up this week, and I’m back teaching at the day job tomorrow, so I’ll be a bit scarce here this week!
One other commission I had to complete before Christmas was a convertible clutch. A family had visited me in my booth at a show this Fall and the Mom really loved my clutches, but they were a bit too short to fit an epi-pen she has to carry everywhere because the little boy is very…
Now that all the presents have been safely given, I can show you what I made for my Candy Claus list! I made a couple of botanical sketch pillows, one for my Mom (to complete the set of 3 of pillows I made for a Quilting Arts TV segment last summer, I gave them to…
One of the things I finished for my upcoming shows is some more Going Green Totes. These are ready made cotton canvas totes I buy, dye and embellish with my “Free Motion Machine Sketching”. There’s not much profit in these, so I never get them listed for sale on my website, but if you’d…
I’m fast and furiously finishing things for my show that starts Friday night and runs all weekend! Here are 6 new convertible clutches: I’ve got more things finished too…no time yet to process the pix – I’ve got labels and signs to make! P.S. Today (Thursday) is the last day for my DVD pre-order special…thank…
As I begin the run up to Fall shows, I would love to make some of the convertible totes that I worked up the prototype for this summer. Although I haven’t worked with commercially printed fabric for years, Daisy Janie’s new Shades of Grey fabric was just the perfect foil for my hand-dyed jewel tones:…
Oh my goodness, this pattern has been a long time coming! I’ve written several patterns for magazines in between starting and finishing this – I guess I should give myself deadlines like the magazine folks do! My messenger bags are extremely functional – I’ve put a lot of thought into creating something that helps you…
I’ve been working hard on finishing up my messenger bag pattern, and having the dual screen monitors has been invaluable. I keep the developing pattern on the small screen, and work on the pictures for the next figure in photoshop on the big screen. As many of the figures have several smaller pictures, it’s really…
Holy Moly! I kinda dropped off the map, didn’t I? Well I’ve been busy busy picking up Andrew and Liam from the big airport (LAX – ugh! Usually we’re able to fly in and out of a smaller airport that’s much closer to home) after their big adventure. My Droid broke (thank GOD for my…
It seems like no matter what, I’m always squeezing a bunch of finishing touches right before a show…and most of the time, it’s finishing a bunch of my Going Green tote bags. I dye pre-made blanks and then add a colorful patch of my hand dyed fabric and “Free Motion Machine Sketch” one of my…
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”.
