God... Love...Family... Friends...Pets...Fun...Creativity
I have always been a peace loving, shy, and sometimes withdrawn person. As a young child I spent a great deal of time with paper, pencils, crayons and books. As we ( 2 sisters + me) grew up in the family my mother would give us old clothes , some were made from very fancy fabrics, that people had given her. I remember sitting on the bed in my room and making costumes, doll clothes, and whatever out of a purple taffeta formal. I would sew for hours with a needle and thread. Years later my mother purchased a sewing machine and she would buy stacks of fabric and turn us loose and all three of us taught ourselves how to sew.
My creativity grew from there and I found myself in high school making all of my own clothes. I did get a lot of attention with my matching outfits including hats. Since I was shy maybe that was my way of creating my own world and at the same time getting attention.
When my sister and I go to Red Hat I love to dress in the rediculous and extreme. She says that is to get attention and gives me a hard time.LOL
Now this same sister came from California in 1997,at my insistence, to live here so we could be together in our later years. We live about a football field away from each other and talk and see each other every day. She brought her quilting skills with her when she came. She taught me how to quilt and that has been my passion ever since. I have an album full of pictures of all my quilts I made for the first 2 years. I was a quilting maniac and made over 100 quilts the first 2 years.
I have this blog for these purposes as told in the above title. I really do have my priorities more in order now. I am not very computer savy and this sister of mine has also taught me how to navigate this crazy technical machine. I hope you all will enjoy my blog as I learn.
You can only make so many quilts and so many bags before you have no space left. What is a very nutty creative person going to do about this?? Well you are going to open an ETSY store and sell some of this stuff, right??

Yet another giveaway? I love this floral fabric. I know that the Northcott fabric will be a delight, as it IS cotton that feels like silk.
I have posted it! http://artbygene.blogspot.com/2009/11/second-post-today.html
Ooooo, pretty material! I blogged about you and your shop (and that lovely raggedy quilt for sale). Thanks for offering these nice bits.

Very pretty fabrics, give me some time and I'll post later about your giveaway.. Thanks for stopping by..
Love that you recycle! The fabric is lovely (would enjoy having it ;) and I've put your shop on my sidebar.
Thanks!
Such Pretty Fabric. I really loved looking around your shop. I am so glad to see that you do the Rag Quilts also, Not many people around here where I am from do them and some people have never heard of them when I tell them thats what I am working on.
I have blogged about your etsy site and will come back and look for christmas presents once we draw names. So glad I found this blog!
What a nice giveaway. I checked out your Etsy shop and really like your fun pins, and the rag quilts. I don't have a blog, but I've subscribed to your's.
Lots of nice things in your shop. Love the fabrics.
I did forget to sign up. Thanks for the reminder.
I love the two fabric in your giveaway. I'm such an easy touch for beautiful florals. Thanks for an opportunity to win these. Your etsy store is really fun too. I adore the Romatic Raggy Quilt and the Recycled Jeans Bags are wonderful, what a super idea!!! I don't use or make aprons but I'm going to let the folks in my BOM class tomorrow know about your store because most of them are crazy about aprons and have been looking for something new. I think your the 'Upcycled Jeans Aprons' will be just what they are looking for so I'll send them your way. Thanks again and Good Luck Everyone.
I really like the fabrics you're giving away, I'd like to be entered, please, I love your raggy quilts in the store, I added your sign and put it in my sidebar with the link to your store, go and check me :D, I don't like to miss the chance to win this fabric!!!
