Monday, December 21, 2009. Happy Holidays to All! Posted by Rosalie Cooke. Wednesday, December 9, 2009. Art Quilting Feeds Artwear. Two Inspiring DVDs by Barbara Olson and Barbara Shapel. The folks at Ninepatch Media sent me two DVDs. You might remember the article in the archives about how they make their dvds. I don't have time to sit long enough to watch them in their entirely now, so I thought I'd give them 5 minutes each. Yah, right! That's not so hard! Her work will knock your socks off! Dijanne is...

Art You Wear and me: September 2010
http://artyouwear.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 16, 2010. Wearable Art at the IQA Conference in Long Beach, 2010. First, sad notes:. Remember Fred Bloebaum and La Fred patterns? I know there was a sale of everything in Fred's business so I can't tell you if you would receive any response to her website if you wanted to buy a pattern, but I think you might like to see the gallery. We also lost Bonnie Leman, the founder of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine. I'm catching up on weeks of notes. This one started at the end of July, 2010:.

Art You Wear and me: May 2010
http://artyouwear.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 6, 2010. Turning to Magazines (and Patterns) for Design Ideas. I've mentioned before that I'm an editor. Before Christmas I helped Sarah Whitney polish her first published quilt pattern, Marmalade and Jam, An Artful Sampler. Now, at last, Yvonne has partnered with the Sewing Workshop to present a jacket pattern. Go to her website to see some of her samples of this pattern. www.yvonneporcella.com. I also want to bring your attention to the magazine, Sew Stylish. Is aimed at those who are new...

Art You Wear and me: January 2010
http://artyouwear.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 16, 2010. Tonight I've sorted through photos of my honey, and so I can update Art You Wear and Me. Actually this time I'm going to mostly update the Me part. It's been the hardest time of my life. John was lucid and talking on Christmas Day so I got to hear about his love once again and he about mine. I photographed the cats for John so he could see how they were looking. He blew them kisses. The first one is his cat Muffin. The second one is my old feral tomcat, Chessie. Before all thi...

Thursday, October 14, 2010. Dressing Beautifully, Creatively, for Ourselves! My Sewing for the Family Wedding. For my niece's wedding I really stepped out of the box! Some time back, I showed you the results of the class I took with Julian Roberts. So many people encouraged me to wear that dress for the wedding, that I just had to make it again. I just wasn't ready for more surprises—I knew the look I wanted, so I abandoned Julian's technique at the last minute, after the first set of holes. I'm not goin...

Art You Wear and me: July 2010
http://artyouwear.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 18, 2010. I Love Serendipity—the fortuitous discoveries! Today I went to photograph my dress so I could show you details up close. I stopped to take a picture of my bird Dolly and then the camera went silent. The battery had run out and I hadn't noticed. Why serendipity? Because usually my batteries would die in the middle of my photographing the Fairfield or Bernina fashion shows! I'm about to travel and might have left with a dead battery! It's charging as I speak. I have a room with two b...

Art You Wear and me: November 2009
http://artyouwear.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 23, 2009. Goodbye to Emma Allebes. Emma Allebes, Artist and Bernina Fashion Designer. Our dear Emma Allebes, an unforgettable Fairfield and Bernina fashion show designer, died of leukemia on October 6, 2009. So much of my stuff is still packed away, but I found a photo album and there was Emma. I think this might have been taken in the year 2000 at the wonderful quilt show we used to have in Marin county. At first you just see the intricate, traditional piecing but it is combined in such...
