Added the Technique of the Month Class for March 21, 2015--A Scarf Above the Ordinary. This is an awesome class! Students will create samples,due to time constraints, using various threads and fibers. These samples can be used as insertions in art quilts, clothing, bags, and more. the class is from 10-2 at
A Sewing Basket in Salado. 254-947-5423

I am so excited about this coming year!! Not only will I be a Grandmother, but my creative juices are flowing so fast I can hardly keep up with all the techniques, jackets, and art quilts I want to create. Ideas are pinging around inside my head ready to erupt outside into the world. That may be a slight exageration. :-) haha Have many projects I want to sew for our Grandson. Whew!!

What do you all have planned for the new year--sewing or quilting wise?

Thank you to AAQG

I want to thank the Austin Area Quilt Guild for the warm welcome I received in December for my Trunk Show. I enjoyed sharing my work with you all and seeing all the beautiful quilts your members shared.

This thank you posting is late because I have had some trouble signing onto my blog. Hopefully the problem is now corrected.

Please let me know what techniques you are interested in learning-perhaps putting those supplies you have on hand to use. Also any classes. Coming technique classes will focus on Angelina Fibers, Lutradur, Tyvek, Foiling, Gelli pad fabric painting, and paint stiks and hot textile techniques--all of which can be used in wearable art or art quilts.

I'm very happy to be starting to teach again. The past year has been extremely hectic for me. We are very excited about becoming Grandparents end of Feb. or early March. Needless to say I'm making a lot of items for our expected grandson. Any of you interested in baby projects to save a bit of money? Let me know.

If you haven't been in A Sewing Basket for a while, you are in for a treat! Deb has bought the shop and it has a new look and wonderful fabrics. Stop in and say hello to the ladies.
