I will start today by saying that my website felicequiltdesigns.com is up and running! I will continue to add patterns and make additional changes to keep it interesting. Please let me know what you think.

 There's a Stitch of the Month page to check out. 
There will be a Gallery of work if you will be so kind as to share a photo of your work from one of my patterns. Include you in it if possible. I will post it on line. Connect to my Facebook page if you haven't already for SALE postings as they come about. 

 SO LET"S GET STARTED WITH THIS:

 If you are one of the first three people to purchase a Seasons pattern you can get a second Seasons pattern for FREE!!!!! Just send an email with your name and the season pattern of your choice for the free one. Order at the website.

 What a beautiful day in NE Ohio and I had a chance to get to the zoo with my four year old grandson, Zachary. We had a great time checking all the animals out and one stop we made watching the lorikeets from Australia really impressed me. The colors are so vibrant. Perhaps the lorikeet has a place in one of my quilts down the road. 
What inspires you to move toward a subject to place in your appliqué work? 

 Have a great day wherever you are reading this at! Happy stitching!

I'm in Love with Shibori

  I'm in Love with the Shibori Technique      Have you ever wondered what everyone is talking about when they say Shibori? Last Fall I took a class with Sandy Shelenberger in using Indigo dyes with clamping and tying techniques. Before class I researched some Shibori techniques and did some pre-class stitching. A good book for that is Stitched Shibori   Technique, Innovation, Pattern, Design by Jane Callender.  You can see Jane's work on this website . Sandy Shelenberger teaches and shows work that you can find on the Facebook page titled Sisters of the Cloth. You can find detailed information on the history of Shibori here .       Here are a few of my experiments. I currently have quite a stack and have produced two finished pieces with more on the way!       Stitched Shibori Experiments   Wrapped and Tied Fabric Wrapped and Tied For the this example I used a print fabric with type and I found that to be a...

THE Quilt Show! Inspiration Overload!

      October was the month for lots of quilt shows, but the one that has been on my bucket list is the Houston International Quilt Festiva l. This show really got my mind rocking and my heart beating! The quilts were beautiful. The vendors had the latest fabrics and it made you feel like you need to run to your sewing room and start something immediately.      Welcome to Texas!       The shopping opportunities were huge. I picked up a wool and cotton palette for the quilt I will start when Tuscany is complete. I'm on the last block, but the biggest one. AND lots more!!!!  (If you are interested in seeing parts of Tuscany you can do that on Instagram or Facebook for Felice Quilt Designs.)      If you have not had the opportunity to go to Houston for this show I recommend it for whatever style of quilt you create. You will see photos of all styles. There was even a wool on cotton quilt with lots of embr...

You Can Do It! Use Your Photographs for Designing a Quilt

     Good Afternoon! It's Tuesday and we had a beautiful sunny, high of 50 degree day yesterday, however today is very gray. Our new weatherman on the local TV station mentioned rain for today. So far, there's no rain but I'm not rushing out the door as I did yesterday to get out in the sun and get things done around town.       How's the weather where you are? Any signs of flowers coming up? I can't wait. Love my flowers!      Flowers and living things are on my mind recently, but the focus is on Italy. I travelled there a few years ago and would love to return sometime, especially to Tuscany. Memories of winding hills, vineyards, flower boxes in windows, hillside towns with amazing doors and stone work are images I think of. You all know the colors that shout Tuscany. Burnt orange, deep and light greens, blue Tuscan skies, sunflower yellow. I could go on.      Since there isn't a trip planned in the near future I decide...
