If my stuffed owls weren’t cute enough, I’ve had an idea for an Easter basket for quite awhile. A modification of my nesting basket pattern, with a layer of Soft & Stable in the middle, this basket now has even more structure, enough to easily hold up the handle: I’ll be teaching this as a…
Another project that has bubbled to the surface is redoing the fabric in my living room. Hubby’s chair totally needs to be re-covered, so I’m changing the color scheme in there. I’ve been loving my Autumn Splendor palette, so I’m going to work with those colors. I’ll use solid colors for hubby’s new slipcover, a…
I’ve got another show this weekend, so I spent Saturday dyeing scarves to replenish some missing color palettes and some tote bag blanks so I could make some of my going green totes. Here’s what my studio looked like today: I should have pix of finished totes to show you soon! Don’t forget to enter…
Putting those different layouts side by side was very useful, it made it very easy to see that the row with yellow borders stuck out way too much. After eliminating that row, I then played a bit more: The layout on the left is where I started, and I ended up preferring the layout on…
Yup, I’m plugging away! I’ve got all my little birdies appliqued on, all the individual pieces stitched together: now it’s time for assembly. These are the shoulder straps for the totes: I love how they look all jumbled up together!
I made some good progress on the 6 convertible totes I’m making for my show next weekend. I thought I’d share some in process shots…I’m loving working with this Autumn Splendor palette.
I’ve been working on a new color palette I’m now calling “Autumn Splendor” (thanks to Vickie who suggested the splendor). I tweaked the gold a bit, and the five colors now work really well as a multicolor combination: Putting together a group of colors that work together as single colors is a bit harder…I…
I taught the second half of my custom tablet/E-reader cover class at the Redlands Sewing Center Wednesday night. Oh we had so much fun! I showed them again how to stitch several of my botanical sketch motifs – the big classroom had a projector so I could play a slide show of some of the simpler…
The first week back to teaching at the University is always rough. To top it off, I taught the first session of my “Custom Tablet Cover” class last night. We had a BLAST, I didn’t take any pictures, but have no fear, I’ll remember to bring the camera next week! I wanted to share a…
I had a great time last Saturday! Here is Meena: She used to dye fabric years ago when she studied design in India. She’s admired my work at several local art shows, and she has (and loves) one of my hand dyed velvet scarves. When she read in my newsletter last month that I was…
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”.
