I decided to “Move It Out” but show you the Picnic Bug from Ann Wood Handmade first.
A domestic scene
With fabric and thread and a few other supplies, I created a small domestic scene that, for me, represents my MIL.
TAST for Hexie Dreams
A quick note to share Pintangle’s TAST project, and how I’ll be using it on my Hexie Dreams quilt.

A close to 2024
A short summary of 2024 and a now said-out-loud goal for 2025.
Update
Just a summary of random things that’s been keeping me from posting.
Stitch Club: Kaur
Saima Kaur led a TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club designed to make us smile by stitching brightly bold and whimsical figures, and I was inspired by ancient South African rock art.
Stitch Club: S. Kelly
Stewart Kelly led a TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club using the kantha stitch to make a still life.
Stitch Club: Edwards
Priscilla Edwards led a TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club where we learned to make a wire frame and use batik wax to form a sculpture. For whatever reason, I decided I’d make a sailboat!
A new era
My craft room has two new additions, Toby and Ollie.
Hexie Dreams + Template
My Hexie Dreams quilt, which was carefully fussy cut and hand pieced by me, then hand quilted by my gramma, is finally finished after three+ years of work (and avoidance). The proof is in the stitching – persistence pays off!
Ophelia Print + Embroidery
I added simple embroidery to an antique Ophelia print (by Deblois, after Bertrand) I found at a resale shop.
Stitch Club: Dias
Cassandra Dias lead a TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club workshop on embroidered landscapes, and I was inspired to recreate a honeymoon photo of France’s Pont Du Gard.
Camus + Mucha Mixed Media
I used watercoloring pencils and embroidery on an Alphonse Mucha coloring book page with an Albert Camus quote.
Seabird Mixed Media
An initial mixed media project to get a handle on how materials work.
Hello 2024!
For the start of 2024, I’ve been playing with drawing, paint, and watercolor pencils to get a feel for the media.
Ida Andersen Lang’s Tutorial
I followed a water color pencil tutorial by Ida Andersen Lang to work through some techniques to set me up for a successful Mixed Media 2024 journey.
Stitch Club: Boschert
Deborah Boschert lead a TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club on creating a mixed media art quilt. I based mine upon a visit to a new town and restaurant.
