Collections and flower gardens….
“I am certain that if we only sit and dream, we will never live our dream.”vlos 2011
New art and new collections are emerging, and I am finding time to sit in my flower garden. This pattern is part of my Love collection….

Do you have a plan for your day, week or year?
After purchasing and listening to the last Tara Reed Ask Call with artist Paul Brent giving a review of Surtex and answering artist’s questions, I know I need to step up my planning. I have to get more focused, create more art collections and set larger goals. I need to expand my portfolio and work on other goals; to do that I must plan my time. My goals are ambitious; large enough to push me to the next level and challenging enough to keep me focused on the end results.
Goals for the year: 30 new collections, two book ideas designed and ready for submission by the end of the year, a video showcasing my art, design a booth space for exhibiting at the Atlanta Gift Mart in January, 2012, a fabric collection completed and submitted.
Month of June: Sketch and paint daily. Two new collections, plan a video, work on book idea. This week—Complete a new collection, pull together my materials for my first book, write out ideas for a video. Sketch and paint everyday.
Ambitious—Yes….Impossible—–NO—-The only way to achieve is to have a plan. Making my days count is a daily goal—“without a vision people perish.”
Oh and on top of all of this, I am beginning a new exercise plan—I’ll write about that tomorrow. Today is calling—the plan awaits.

fabric design
I love fabric…all kinds of fabric. My stash is large and it is very hard to pass up buying more fabric anytime I set foot in my local Hancocks or Hobby Lobby, in fact any fabric store works for me…just give me fabric.
Since I have been sewing from an early age…eleven or so…my sewing machine has had lots of fabric pass through the feed dogs….dresses, blouses, slacks, coats, purses, home decor and of course, there are always the patching jobs that seem to fall on me.
Sewing and crafting have been second nature all of my life and I learned through the patience of my mother who along with my grandmother could sew anything they wanted. They both loved quilting and my mother still keeps a quilt in the frame and one or more ready for the frame.
So….fabric has played a big part in my life and walking down the isles touching and seeing the bright colors and wonderful designs is like walking through a candy store for me.
As an artist. one of my goals is to design fabrics….it will happen!
These pictures are of some of the quilts I have inherited from my mother and grandmothers.

Nothing fancy….just scraps from clothing projects or even old feed sacks; however, each stitch lovingly placed by dedicated hands.
