Hello, everyone,

A little disclaimer about the link sites I have listed. They are there for the benefit of my sewing blog readers; and in no way am I being paid for advertising. I will not list any link that I personally do not believe in or have not visited. I realize there are many more wonderful sites out there. These are ones I have or have had personal experience. Okay, enough on this topic. Time for some "eye candy".

More pictures of my work followed by pictures of my students' work. Click on pictures to enlarge.

This wall hanging was done for Momo-Dini Designs featuring one of their design cd's.


Class sample of Fabric Collage Wall Hanging, "The Predator". Picture to right is a close-up view of the trees.

This is the back of my Oriental Designer's Collection vest.

Following is little preview of some of my student's work. You have to agree, they are very talented! Pictures of my students' work will be posted from time to time. Enjoy the fabric "eye candy". Click on photos to enlarge.


Marion's Stitch-A-Story Collage Jacket. The house pictured on the back of the jacket, is a picture of an actual home. ( Marion made this jacket as a gift. Now the lady has a picture of her home on her jacket. What fun!!)

Back view of Marion's Designer's Collection Beaded Vest. Wow!!

Watch for sales on Sulky Sliver and Holoshimmer threads. I highly recommend them along with Madiera, Superior, YLI, and Wonderfil metallic threads. They bring a lot of sparkle to your garments.

Speaking of threads, check out YLI's link. You can now download a small booklet, A Thread of Truth, for free. This is a very worthwhile booklet full of information on thread and sewing machine needles. This applys to thread in general--not any specific brand.

I also pick up interesting textured yarn when I see it. Never know when it will be just the touch needed to make something "pop".

As for fabric---if you see something you like buy a yard. If it really, really speaks to you buy as much as you can afford; at least three yards. Fantastic architectural and landscape fabrics aren't always easy to find; so when you see some you like, don't leave the store without some of it for your stash.

Fabric truly is a great thing. It isn't fattening, makes great pets, and the colors and textures can be soothing to our inner being. :-) You guessed it--I am a great fabric collector; as well as, thread, yarn, etc. HaHa

Take care out there and happy sewing, Christine :-)
