Lets Party!!!

I am so thrilled to see so many visitors from the Grow Your Blog Party!!!
Welcome!

I first met Vicki from 2 Bags Full through Etsy. She purchased one of my Crazy Quilted Pear Pincushions.

It was a custom order and I really enjoyed working with her. Artists give other artists the freedom to play and that makes creating fun. You only have to see Vicki's work to see that she fully understands what it is to be creative and how fun it can be when given permission simply enjoy the journey. Her work amazes me and inspires me to be spontaneous and joyful.


This is her Shorebird Nest. So beautiful!!

I have been sewing since I was little. My mom and grandma sat patiently and taught me the basics. My home-ec teacher in high school kind of took the joy out of the whole thing. However, I did learn a rule or two that I still use today. I came from a family of 6 sisters and 1 brother. Sewing was the best way to get something new that was designed just for me. When I was married, I sewed all the curtains in my home, stuffed more than my share of throw pillows, mended the knees on my boys jeans and made some pretty crazy Halloween costumes with my sewing machine.

These days I have an Etsy Shop called Fiberluscious where I sell a lot of little fabric goodies. I mainly create pincushions. In fact, my list of orders seems to grow faster than the time I have to fill them. Thank goodness I love what I do! I also love my customers.

I love collaborative projects. Often I will get an order for something "like" what I have in my shop. I often get orders where I get to make anything I want within reason. Its a wonderful way to feed my fabric obsession.

My goals this year are to fine tune my sewing skills. I do a lot of hand embroidery which I take great pride in. I hope to get much better at patchwork. I'd love to do a series of mini quilted pincushions. I want to explore the many facets of wool from felting to crewel work. Its such a luscious material to play with.
I'll also be participating in the 2013 Crazy Quilt Journal Page Project. Click on the badge to the right to find out more. I'll be showing my quilt blocks here on my blog.

Well enough about me.
