I've followed your blog for several months from TQS. Sent cheers by ESP as you've shared your doubts and struggles. I live next door in South Dakota and wish you much success. I like your style.

Thanks Stephanie, the blue is a canvas board that I've textured with gesso then painted with acryllics, then stitched the piece to. I will try and take a close up photo this week. I've had a look at your photos and your work is beautiful I shall have a closer look when I get more time.

Hi, Stephanie! Sorry I didn't welcome you properly when you joined Fiber Focus... I've been without power for a week and finally got it restored today. We had a huge ice storm here and there are still over 200,000 people without power in Kentucky. And, sadly the temps just dropped again with a high of 20 today and tomorrow. May sound like a warm front in Minnesota (my Motherland!), but there we would be dead...

Anyway, I finally got to look at your work and really enjoyed what I saw, especially the figurative ones. Welcome, welcome!!!

Creative Week

I was very fortunate to have my friend, Norma Riehm come up for a few days to play in the studio with me. She helped me re-purpose some freebies, and we played for hours with shiva sticks!

There are pictures of the flurry of creativity on my blog:

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.
