Hello! šŸ‘‹ Time for a sewing room tour! It was s Hello! šŸ‘‹ Time for a sewing room tour! It was so fun to take these photos... and the room will never be this clean again. I love this room so much!
Hereā€™s a little quilt doodle I made this week. M Hereā€™s a little quilt doodle I made this week. My 2018 challenge for the #100dayproject was #100daysofdrawandplay and still, 3 years later, Iā€™m trying my best to remember to play. It can be so hard to get out of my head and just put something on the paper. But creative play is so, so important! This was my first time using masking fluid. I drew the outlines for myself and then colored them in with watercolor, it was fun! Then the masking fluid rubs off- itā€™s mostly made of rubber cement. Swipe to see the quilt before I removed the masking fluid. I donā€™t know if I did it right- I used up an eraser and a half just trying to get the masking fluid to rub off. So clearly I need more practice... and more play with paint.
Happy Easter! There is so much joy in this yearā€™s season of rebirth. I know I am so ready for the light, peace, and grace. šŸ’•
Day 31: Looking Forward. This photo is from almos Day 31: Looking Forward. This photo is from almost 4 years ago (!) when I found out Iā€™d get to move to Miami. A wonderful day and such a big change in my life! Iā€™m having a hard time with long term goals right now, but at the moment I am hugely looking forward to Easter! David and I gave up desserts for Lent this year, so Sunday is going to be a smorgasbord of sugars. Oh pink sprink, how Iā€™ve missed you. šŸ© #marchmeetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker2021
Day 30: Range I decided to use this prompt to shar Day 30: Range I decided to use this prompt to share the wide range of creative projects I completed in 2020. Block printed paper art prints ; block printed patterned fabric. Quilts for babies and #QUILTID19. I learned how to weave on a loom! Wedding bouquets and, of course, my wedding dress. Watercolors, something Iā€™m still learning. I finally finished upholstering my gray chair! And lots of laser cuts, like my beloved #plantlady . Sewing is my most common art/craft because itā€™s what Iā€™m best at. But once you learn how to make some things, itā€™s addicting! I am always looking to learn more, to try new techniques and materials. Itā€™s all so rewarding. Hereā€™s hoping I can continue to expand my depth and breadth of creativity. šŸ’• #marchmeetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker2021
To close out Wedding Weekā„¢ļøšŸ˜†, on Friday I b To close out Wedding Weekā„¢ļøšŸ˜†, on Friday I blogged my experience making my own flowers for the wedding. I loved making my bouquet with all of my favorite flowers and bright colors! Making 5 more bouquets was a workout, for sure. Iā€™m hoping to plan a girlsā€™ night sometime where we can all gather with a ton of flowers and make arrangements to take home! How fun would that be?
Day 26: Favorite My favorite part of any sewing pr Day 26: Favorite My favorite part of any sewing project is the very beginning: choosing the fabric. I have so many fabrics that are so special to me, and especially since I gather most of my fabric when Iā€™m traveling, my fabric bins are filled with memories. Building quilt stacks is the ultimate way to play with different fabrics. This is the stack of fabrics that became my #quiltid19 quarantine quilt! #marchmeetthemaker
Day 25: Starting Point I met my first laser cutter Day 25: Starting Point I met my first laser cutter back in 2012, when I was working at the university maker space. My fellow engineers were using it to build model airplanes and interlocking cubes, but when I saw its capabilities I immediately wanted to use it to make art. That camera necklace (top left) was my first laser cut design ever. I was a photography minor and accustomed to carrying my camera everywhere, so I loved that I could have a camera around my neck at ALL times. Over the years Iā€™ve streamlined the design, making it look even more like a camera from afar. Iā€™ve also improved my product photography for sure! #marchmeetthemaker
Day 24: Wrapped and Packaged #marchmeetthemaker T Day 24: Wrapped and Packaged #marchmeetthemaker These are my new Sewing Room signs! I love them ā˜ŗļø Packaging is always the trickiest part with my laser cuts. Theyā€™re slightly fragile so they need to be shipped carefully, but I still want the packaging to look nice AND be as eco-friendly as possible. Lots of constraints! But this system is working well so far, and Iā€™m sure to continue tweaking it as I think of better ways to do things.
