I enjoy dabbling, experimenting. Whatever you want to call it. Before I got into quilting in 1980, I was experimenting, like so many others at that time, with needlepoint, blackwork, cross-stitch, etc.
More recently I have tried scanned art and painting on fabric, which I now want to also embellish.

I'm still cogitating on these two small painted squares.
Barbara Brackman had a post recently about Penguin Threads' latest releases. The cover designs were done by Jillian Tamaki. You can order from Amazon here.
I was so taken with the designs of the books covers that I had to go explore the artist's website and blog. Click here to see her working on the book covers. Do take the time to explore her blog. I especially enjoyed her Frequently Asked Questions as well as her artwork itself.
Do you have your own blog? Or do you document your work/life somehow in a notebook or scrapbook or journal? Share your stories with us!
