While rinsing out swatches I was dyeing for the shades, tints and session of my online class, I realized that I wanted to sew these into a long, narrow quilt. I’ve got the perfect wall for it! The pink bits are labels made from surveyor’s flagging tape, I write on it with a Sharpie marker…
The folks over at Quilting Arts have put together an e-book for beginning quilters made from articles from previous magazines, and my branch and bird article from the 2010 Quilt Scene is one of the articles! I’ve always love this photo that the photographer took of them, I love that granite bench in the…
It’s a blustery Sunday afternoon, and I was rinsing out a bunch of swatches that I dyed for the last session of my online class. While looking at each color, some of which were new and exciting to me, my mind travelled near and far. I got to think about where I was going with…
This is the week of iPad sleeves! I usually use black or beige velcro, but was happy to have some red velcro in my drawer, I think it looks kinda funky! I’m becoming more comfortable with my new camera…I took all these pix as the sun was almost down, and didn’t have to do any…
I’ve got another patient client who really loves purple and the lime green I get when dyeing navy next to Chartreuse. Although I’d originally planned to put some birds on like I usually do, she saw a picture of those iPad envelopes I made last week with a dandelion motif and asked if I could do…
I’ve referred to my computer woes a few times in the past month, and now that my tale of woe has come to a sad end, I thought I’d share it with folks. It’s part cautionary tale, and partly I’m hoping to encourage other folks who end up having the same issue with this laptop…
Liam has a solo competition coming up, and he needed a “head shot” for the application. So out we went with tuxedo on top, shorts below. He usually hates pictures, but because this was part of this competition he’s been practicing for for a long time, he didn’t put up a fuss! We got the…
This giveaway has ended…click here to see who won! Did you know that March was National Craft Month? The folks at Interweave alerted me to the fact, and they have put together a bevy of free e-books to inspire people to get started in one of the many types of crafts they have published about…
I’m on the home stretch of my Dyeing 101 class, 2 more sessions and the class will be complete – wahoo! (Of course, I then will start planning the next one!) After finishing up this week’s session, I had time to work on 2 commissioned iPad envelopes. What is fascinating is that 2 completely different people asked…
You may have noticed I had an item on my February to do list that didn’t even get touched. The Alumni House at my University has a small gallery that gets filled with a different artist’s work every two months. There’s not any security so I did not want to hang my biggest quilts, and…
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”.
