Creative Textile & Quilting Arts
On my website you can find free techniques, tips and tutorials, as well as free articles and other information relating to textile and quilt art and lots of free stuff. I also have various downloadable workshops and mini-classes where you can learn new and fun techniques. On my sister site - The Free Lunch Cafe - I provide free monthly mini-classes in a community atmosphere where members can learn fun new art quilting techniques and interact with each other. I work mainly with free motion embroidery and free motion quilting, machine needle felting, embellishing including making my own embellishments and working with traditional embellishments such as beading, as well as various types of image transfer and in particular my latest obsession - Golden Products Digital Grounds. I have a whole new section on my website dedicated to my experiments with Digital Grounds with lots more to come. It's an exciting and fascinating new area of image transfer. I love to experiment and share my findings both on my blog and in my workshops and classes so you'll find lots of information on my website.
