A Time To Reflect Losing My Mother

My Mother passed away on March 27th. at the age of 89.
She had lived with us for the past 6 years of her life. As she became more fragile she often expressed her sadness at being unable to do the things she had once enjoyed. Sewing was a priceless gift that she gave me I know that without her encouragement and patience, I'd have never been able to develop the confidence and creativity that blesses my spirit today.
We have all arrived at our inner joy in various ways, and through the God-given ta… Continue

Hi Emily, as host of the Art of Quilting I welcome you to the group, finally. I had password problems for over a week and still I see that my gravatar isn't correct. Would you respond to this note please because Rayela and I are testing to see how much if any of my previous history is lost or not. Thanks, Gina

I tried to leave a comment for you last night but I have no idea if you got it as my computer just stopped dead in the middle of a sentence and wouldn't let me finish.

I tried to tell you how absolutely stunning your jewelry or neck pieces are. I was blown away. FABULOUS!
I also wanted to tell you that I wish you were here to be in my classes as you are one that doesn't seem afraid to do the hot experimentation and you would be fun to work with. I appreciate your comments on Hot and Wet Fibers and am glad you joined our little group.

Welcome to Fiber Focus! It's exciting to see this grow so quickly! You can now personalize your page (several templates available that you can tweak), load photos (takes patience!), add videos, music and participate in the forums. There are some helpful tips under "Notes" on the front page.

This group is pretty informal. Our common ground is fiber, but we can have fun with it (as long as it is respectful of all the diversity here). Please feel free to invite your friends, too.

I'm also always looking for articles from guest artists for the blog, too, so if you like to write, let me know!

Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern



Karen's Whimsey has this free Paper Doll pattern on her website.  Clothing for the doll also available.  Images are in the public domain.


American Folk Art Doll Pattern



This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply.  Their description:

HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll

This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

Moccasins and Leather Craft Patterns


HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
