Vicki over at Sew Inspired has put together a whole month of folks blogging about their take on free motion quilting. I’m over there today talking about how my free motion quilting morphed into free motion machine sketching. Come take a look!

Introducing My First E-course | Dyeing 101: Controlling Color
It is with great joy that I announce the launch of Dyeing 101: Controlling Color, my very first e-course! I have spent the last few years connecting with people online, all while growing my little business, honing my craft, and making art. It now seems an obvious extension, to combine all these loves and develop…
Radiance PFD First Test
Are you familiar with Radiance? It’s a fabric that is 50% silk and 50% cotton, and Kaufman now makes a PFD version of it. I’ve got a customer who wants some bright silky fabric, but was worried that working with 100% silk would be too difficult, as she’s working with some very small pieces. I…
A Fun Day Teaching Dyeing
Well, I had such a fun day on Sunday! I gave a private dyeing lesson to Laine, a quilter who’s done some indigo dyeing before, and her friend Nina who is new to the world of fabric in general, and had never given any thought to fabric dyeing before. They arrived at my house Sunday…

Collecting Color | Toning with Complements
Cyn of Riverdog Prints has a meetup called “Collecting Color” that’s all about…you guessed it, color! Last week, I made a set of nesting baskets in some custom colors my client had selected earlier in the summer. When I was working on the pieced strip for the basket, I was worried about the colors. The…
Snapshots from the Studio | Using the Camera as a Value Finder
I’ve been working on a set of nesting baskets like these for a patient client. We had chosen some blues and purples from my stash to use in the scrappy stripe. As I was laying them out, I thought I’d snap a pix for a “Snapshots from the Studio” post. Looking at the picture in…
Snapshots from the studio | Botanical Sketch Quilt
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…
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”.
