I spent a pleasant couple of hours working these easy free motion embroidered flowers using two layers of organza between two sheets of water soluble film. I have worked them all with black thread on the top and bottom of the machine, reason being that they are for my learning curve stint at the Festival of quilts this August coming and it's easier if the machines are pre threaded. ( Boy I am organised) I'm not really its just that Pam NEAVE who organises it saw me demonstrating several different types of flower making on the machine and thought they would go down well for those of you that like to embellish your work or have a raised effect . Due to the weather being so awful with snow snow and a lot more snow I have been somewhat confined to home the last couple of days and they were what I decided I wanted to play with. I just need to put them in a box for safe keeping and remember where I have put them when I need them later in the summer

Birmingham, U.K.-based artist Zoë Hillyard revitalizes shattered vases and bowls by melding traditional craft techniques. She wraps a mishmash of vintage silks and fabrics around individual ceramic shards, binding the broken pieces with tightly stitched thread. Appearing glazed with antique florals and other ornate motifs, the patchwork forms contrast the original shape of the pottery with the newly mended exterior, a reconfigured finish that’s commonly disrupted by missing pieces and jagged edges. Gathering the source materials from ceramicists’ reject piles or by receiving broken family heirlooms for commissions, Hillyard works with the initial shape and purpose in mind. More

I have been teaching on-line classes since 2009 and have chosen not to use a dedicated platform to do this- mainly because I want to keep the groups smallish and also friendly . In the on-line sphere the feel of a class is very different to teaching in the flesh. When you teach in the flesh you can read a room, you can tell who needs a little help, you can tell when you need to take a stop to explain s0mething a bit bettter than you might have, you need to make everyone feel included as much as possible, you can relate stories and people can respond with their own stories and ideas- it's an interactive space, where everyone's voice makes a contribution. It is the give and take of a teaching space or as a good friend of mine , Fiona Wright from the Stitching Project calls it the bump and nudge of sparking ideas. And this is exactly what happened over the last couple of months- as we have kept checking in with each other and nudged and bumped each other with ideas as we try and negotiate this new kind of world we are in and try and see how we can create something into the future that actually embraces more connectivity of the bump and nudge kind. Sometimes we are like giddy school girls running with an idea which may or may not come off but it's the fizz of excitement of running with an idea which sparks other ideas. So with that thought in mind we have decide to create a website called the Connecting Stitch with a blog as well- it is still very much a work in progress and will continue to be so in the spirit of sparking ideas, but we intend to share all sort of interesting tidbits and ideas, making ideas and thinking with our hands we also intend to include others into the choir. Will let you know as soon as you can join in to the fun. We have both worked on a blog post- where you will find instructions on how to embellish a jacket and how to make tie on pockets. We also have an instagram page called connecting_stitch ( which you can look at already)- we will be adding things so follow us if you are interested to see what we are up to. Pods, Pods, Pods I have had quite a few requests for the pod workshop. I must admit I have kind of struggled with how to put it together exactly. I don't enjoy zoom for actual teaching but do like it for question and answer. I myself learn from notes with lots of images but that said also watch videos on how to do things. So on that note I have decided to launch the workshop anyway and combine all three things. So Pods Pods and Pods Workshop notes and video will be available on the 1st of August and then we will do a zoom Question and Answer the following week- at two different times on Sunday 8 August ( to accommodate US and European time zones). The cost of the workshop will be $25AUS. You will see in the photos I have branched out the pods into pomegranate shapes and urchin shapes ( how could I resist?) and the notes will have instructions on how to make these. I have attached a Paypal button and once payment is made I will send you an email with a materials list and further instructions. The button on the left if for the Pods, Pods, Pods On-line Workshop. And just when Victoria thought it might have dodged some of the Covid crisis here we are in lockdown again. I live alone and am unpartnered so these lockdowns are becoming difficult. I am allowed to see my mother for care reasons but that is arduous in its own right ( I do her cooking , some of which I freeze and her shopping)- but frankly I could do with a hug myself and also I need to be vigilant about my own self care which at present is getting subsumed into my mothers' care. And I also need to be super careful in what I might pass on to her. We have been lucky in the Latrobe valley with a few cases early in 2020 but none since, but as the current situation shows it requires extreme vigilance for things to remain this way.I realise covid numbers are on the rise worldwide and we must all take care of each other and there are people in difficult situations everywhere- but if you are partnered or sharing a house please reach out to those that are not. The world has been far from easy for many people and not all of us can at the end of the day receive a warm hug from someone in your immediate vicinity- a kind caring word goes a long way! And last but not least. I am starting another Traveller's Blanket on-line class on the 8th of August. There is still plenty of time to sign up and create your own Traveller's blanket- they are wraps to remind you of journeys and wanderings on this planet whether it be your back yard, your local forest or beach or the wider world which at present lives in our imaginations. To me there is nothing quite like stitching- it passes time to be sure, but also makes my hands wander, create textures , and fills space with such feeling that it is tangible. I am certain that our hands offer another way of reading. The traveller's Blanket on-lien class starts on the 8th of August and includes extensive pdf notes delivered fortnightly for a period of 8 weeks, a little video and four question and answer zoom sessions for your questions and getting to know each other a little. I also set up a private Facebook group for sharing prgress and for discussion. Meanwhile keep well!

Here's a unique tabletop showpiece sculpted from fabric. Most of the fabric is hand painted cotton pieces, the red strips and piping around the bowl are different prints of commercial fabrics.

Each print is totally unique due to the nature of the process, the light, the plants used and the amount of time the print is exposed for. Details are stitched by hand using cotton threads. Unlike other forms of printmaking each print is one of a kind . 50cm x 50cm ( mounted, to fit frame 54cm x

If your students love to paint, these delightful mixed media projects are perfect for your art lesson library. I love using bold, bright colors of tempera paint splashed on paper. These 3 art lessons, inspired by the artist Henri Matisse, are simple, successful and fun. Project 1 - Room with Patterns is inspired by Matisse's beautiful paintings of interior rooms containing patterned walls, tables containing bowls of fruit and vases with flowers. Project 2 - Plate of Apples focuses on the beauty of a plate of apples. Totally adorable and a successful project for all. Project 3 - Still Life Vase with Flowers and Fruit is a pattern on pattern project. This project is an explosion of color. Students create a vase containing flowers with a cluster of fruit nearby. These projects cover grades 1-5, but anyone will love creating these masterpieces. These lessons provide a collaboration between organic and geometric shapes, elements of art, various media, composition and color along with art history. Included in this 57-page digital lesson plan: Step by step full-color photo tutorials for the 3 lessons Background info about Matisse and still life paintings Matisse timeline Vocabulary and learning objectives Supplies needed for each project Reproducible Shapes Handout Reproducible Vase Shapes Handout Reproducible Fruit Shapes Handout Reproducible circle templates Student Galleries I Can statements National Standards Vocab cards Reproducible Artist Statement How To Make Painted Paper 2 reproducible coloring sheets for easy finishers 11" x 17" poster Each project requires at least 2, 40-minute art sessions depending on grade level.

Traditionally found in tatami rooms, these large zabuton cushions let you sit comfortably on the floor to lounge, meditate, or gather around the table for dinner.
