Mouse Factory Designs: May 2014
http://mousefactorydesigns.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 31, 2014. Here it is, and I am pleased, not because I think it's great art, but because I finally think I'm finding my groove again. I am so very glad this turned out so well. Tuesday, May 27, 2014. This month the Fast Friday Fabric Challenge involves the use of the colour purple. The first thing I attempted went South quite quickly, so I had to find another idea. Since I may be teaching a Tyvek technique fairly soon, I decided to use Tyvek, to refresh my skills. Friday, May 16, 2014. There...

Mouse Factory Designs: August 2015
http://mousefactorydesigns.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 30, 2015. Evidently they are loosing a lot of business to the Internet and, to a lesser extent, to "cross-border-shopping". I know this is a problem all over. What will people do when there is no LQS to go into for advice and help? My husband suggested we take a look at other quilt stores in the province and make a day trip, if we could find the silk available. No such luck. My last resort? Monday, August 10, 2015. Which has lead to my fibre work and FMQ'g. Friday, August 7, 2015. I've bee...

Mouse Factory Designs: A Good Day's Work
http://mousefactorydesigns.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-good-days-work.html
Thursday, July 9, 2015. A Good Day's Work. Since DH gets very nervous if I try to tackle the basement stairs, he set up a work area for me out in the garage. He had a table set up,and covered, had all of my tools available, and took my IV pole out to hang the pieces on before and after they were done. Then, one at a time, each was sprayed, very carefully, and, yes, I wear a fine particle respirator when I use basting spray. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Mouse Factory Designs: What's next

Sunday, July 26, 2015. Anyway here is a close up of the feathers-Victorian Feathers, of course. I had a picture of the whole thing, but it was a poor picture and showed nothing, so I deleted it.

Mouse Factory Designs: March 2015
http://mousefactorydesigns.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 20, 2015. Yes, it will have to be a "landscape" format rather than "portrait". Which means that I need more space than the four linear feet I asked for at the upcoming art show. So I contacted the show organizer today and arranged for 8 linear feet. This just might allow for three pieces rather than two. Oh dear, need to get to work. My own worst enemy. Friday, March 13, 2015. I have started to bead the "Icarus' Dream" piece. This is proving quite a challenge to my poor old eyes, as I'm...

Mouse Factory Designs: Slow progress
http://mousefactorydesigns.blogspot.com/2015/07/slow-progress.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. I have finished two of the four practice pieces. The little black quilt was done entirely by "stitch-in-the-ditch", some free hand and some by regular machine stitching. Boy, did I ever need practice with that! There is really nothing that would show in a picture. The other one was fairly traditional feathers around a center oval, done with white thread on a pink and white fabric. I have to figure out how to photograph that to best advantage.

Tuesday, July 21, 2015. The next picture is the finished quilt- although not yet beaded. The seed beads I've chosen are a matt finish and almost a perfect match in colour to the peach-y sections of the quilt. I have no idea what I'm going to do with these little quilts. I.

Mouse Factory Designs: June 2014
http://mousefactorydesigns.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 16, 2014. This has been a major epiphany for me. I really don't need to feel like a poor relation when I associate with other artists. I have something to contribute! The end result is that I have been asked to lead a "Play Day" in Mixed Media Techniques. Several of the people who have signed up for this are artists whose work I have admired for years. Boy! I better get my act together in a hurry! Friday, June 6, 2014. Back to normal- sort of. Another two months for a maybe? My old blog site.

Mouse Factory Designs: January 2015
http://mousefactorydesigns.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. Spent most of today doing the hand finishing on the hexie piece ( while watching stupid home reno shows on tv). But, 'tis done! When it was quilted, it had to be trimmed to be exactly square, as the construction technique won't work otherwise. I have to credit Linda and Laura Kemshell for this construction technique, as described in an early Quilting Arts Magazine, in an article about Kantha stitching. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. Once it was all sewn together the result was d...

Mouse Factory Designs: Pink Quilt
http://mousefactorydesigns.blogspot.com/2015/07/pink-quilt.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2015. The next picture is the finished quilt- although not yet beaded. The seed beads I've chosen are a matt finish and almost a perfect match in colour to the peach-y sections of the quilt. And finally, I tried to get a photo of the finished quilting by photographing the back of the quilt at an angle. I have no idea what I'm going to do with these little quilts. I.
