It feels good to be back in the studio with a full day ahead of me. I've been playing since 8:00 a.m. and have already done a little fabric painting, and a bunch of hand stitching. While I was working away, I was watching two new Quilting Arts DVDs, DIY Surface Design with Leslie Tucker Jenison and Mixed-Media Collage: Working in Layers with Jenn Mason. Both of these DVDs are fantastic but Jenn's layering with monoprints and collage was my favorite!!! I highly recommend this one! Go to the Quilting Arts site to purchase.

Well, my mini quilt hs been coming along. I added French knots and random stitching in black embroidery floss and then ripped strips of a painted fabric and attached it to the edges using a running stitch and green embroidery floss. I like the texture and the raw edges!
This will be one of 10+ that I will be adding to a handmade book. I'm not sure how much of the book structure will be fabric or paper at this point but as I go along, I'm sure the finished pieces will tell me what to do. I will continue working away here diligently and will catch up tomorrow!
