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’m still in web spruce up mode. I’ve finally added another page to my shop with botanical sketch pillows.
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…
I’ve wanted to make a bag like this for a long time. Something lightweight, something that was not too tall, but COULD be taller if you needed it to. The convergence of summer vacation and Daisy Janie’s awesome Shades of Grey fabric and I finally had time to make a couple of prototypes! What I’ve…
Back about a year and a half ago, I made a holder for 3″ x 5″ index cards for a customer, she wanted something pretty to hold these cards she uses for work each day. So I made one for her that matched a little notepad she had purchased from me. Well, I got a…
I got a couple of things crossed off the list this week (excuse the pictures, the time between finishing these and shipping these was very short)! Now I’ve gotta write the patterns, but both my iPad sleeve and journal covers will be patterns in Quilting Arts Gifts this winter!
The pillows I’ve been trying to work on this week still look like this, but I did get some zip wallets done: I only had 2 left (the blue ones), and someone had ordered a custom one (the tan with the purple birds) a couple of weeks ago, so I went ahead an made a…
The fabric basket I made to hold the fabrics for my fabric dyeing tutorial had been knocking around in my head for a long time…like 2 years or so! The combination of using a layer of SF101 and batting and turning the top of the basket over makes it quite sturdy, yet still flexible….
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”.
