Give Away Day

-
It is Give-Away-Day over at Sew Mama Sew once again and who doesn't LOVE a giveaway!  I love winning them as much as I love giving them so I'll be blog hopping through the lists as well.  This year I am giving away this lovely book, Modern Sewing Projects:

There are 16 wonderful projects you can make for your home or for fun.  One of the projects is a pattern I wrote for re-useable produce bags:
So to sweeten the pot a bit, I will throw in two small produce bags I made.
They are perfect to take to the farmers market, grocery store 
or use them as a project bag!

And if you would like to buy a larger produce bag, 
feel free to visit my etsy shop.

If you would like a chance at winning the book and bags, leave a comment with your email address and   your favorite thing to buy at the farmer's market.  I love the salt & pepper corn.  SO GOOD!
I will ship international so everyone is welcome to enter my giveaway.
The giveaway will remain open until May 10th.
I will notify the winner before the 12th.
Good luck and don't forget to go check out all the other giveaways listed at Sew Mama Sew.

I would have to google farmers market now - but I'm just guessing it's where farmers sell vegetable and the like ... well my favourite is asparagus, that's the one thing you can't buy in supermarkets and expect some sort of good taste.

Gelli Plate Tutorial with Leaves

-
Image
Here's the Gelli Plate Tutorial you asked for! My Gelli plate has been well used and well loved. 1. Place Gelli Plate on a flat, covered working surface, and place small dots of paint onto the plate.  My demo photos are with me using acrylics and paper but it works exactly the same with fabric paint and fabric.  I like using Jacquard Textile paint when I make fabric prints. 2. Use a brayer to spread the paint evenly across the plate. 3.  I used the leaves as a resist for the first print. 4. Place the paper/fabric on top of the printing plate and smooth it out nicely to get an even print. 5.  Carefully lift up the paper/fabric. Found a photo from when I printed the fabric - see same process. This is a first print. 5.  I know that MONOprinting means ONE print but seriously, when you remove the leaves from the plate there are these beautifully textured leaves left on the plate just dying to be printed.  I couldn't ignore t...

Fabric Printing at Home Blog Tour

About two months ago I wrote a review about the book Fabric Printing at Home written by my friend, Julie B. Booth . Today I'm going to show you one of the things I learned from her book and then give you an opportunity to win a copy of the book for yourself. I used a hot glue gun to create a design onto a toilet paper roll.  I was impatient and didn't seal the toilet paper roll with white glue or a gel medium before creating my design.   I inserted a short roller handle that one can find at the local hardware store into the toilet paper roll. . .   . . . and used my 3x5" Gelli Plate as a paint palette.  I rolled the paint across a sample piece of fabric. . . . . .first going long ways. . .  . . .and then again short ways. I really like the texture this provides whether I go once or twice across the fabric and I'm gladly adding it to my art "toolbox."  Have you tried something like this before?  What ha...

Quilt National

My husband and I took a red-eye flight to Columbus, Ohio, and then drove the one hour to Athens, Ohio, to attend the opening of the Quilt National quilt show where my piece, Wild Flowers was being shown. Made a stop at Tim Horton's, a Canadian chain for some delicious breakfast sandwiches and donut holes. We went to the Kennedy Art Museum, on the Ohio University campus. This is the side of the building. Photo of the front of the building from the cleveland.com website. The building was designed in the 1860s by Cleveland architect Levi Scofield, and was originally part of the Athen's Lunatic Asylum. It opened in 1996 as the Kennedy Museum of Art. There were some lovely prints, paintings and exhibits. It didn't take long to tour, which was good for my knees. I was glad to be able to see this Elizabeth Catlett print. I admire her work. I've seen some of her her other prints in person, and was anxious to also see this one. Friday evening, the Quilt National show opened, and...
