Profile Information

What aspect of textiles are you interested in?
I enjoy working with all types of textiles. Just about anything having to do with fiber and/or needles, Handwork is my favorite, feeling the different textures, and holding the cloth and fibers in my hands. I want to try just about everything needlework related, which is probably why I have so many UFO's. I try something new and once I can manage the technique it's off to try something new.
Where did you learn your textle skills?
I am mostly self taught from books. I can also figure out a lot of techniques just by looking at samples of needlework.

Your work is just so stunning!!!!!! I am drooling. I was sitting at my computer looking at your photo's and my son who is 13, his friend who is visiting who is also 13 came over and started watching the slide show. I said are you waiting for the computer, they said no we want to see those pictures. They kept oh wow, neat. Your work is inspirational.

The prairie is great.
I looked at your webshots and noticed you called Dear Jane a sane quilt. Listening to those who are working on them I'm not too sure that is appropriate! Though I guess the quilt is sane, it just creates moments of insanity in the makers!
Also, the idea of Miranda getting wacked makes for a great quilt title.

I love the little pictures you add to your crazy patches.

Thanks Carol; It's sweet to read you because, I was inspired by a white tree embroidered by Christina Porter,and I think it's beautiful in only one color; now, I can look at mine differently.
I like your page and photos, but azs soon as possible, I shall see your blog and site!

Thanks for your reply Carol. You're quite right - if I look at the overall project it's a bit intimidating, but if I do as you suggested, and just think about one seam at a time without worrying about the others, it will fall into place. I feel better already! I'll post a message on my Page here when I've started embellishing.

Hi Carol
Just visiting some of the TAST group members' pages and arrived here! Your stitching is superb; I've just made my very first CQ block and have been looking at other people's CQs for ideas. Trouble is, I get overwhelmed by all the beautiful work out there and think "I'll never be able to do that"...but I can try!
