When this blog first began, it featured all things quilty and was titled Art From The Heart. Years go by, interests morph, horizons expand, and all of a sudden you realize you are a quilter, yes...but also a spinner, weaver, knitter, crocheter, mixed media, fiber artist. The art is still from the heart, but the new name reflects my excitement with all things fiber! It's Fantabulous!

Program Prepping
I am scheduled to 'be the program' for the quilt guild I attend each month. I am to tell a little about what an art quilt is, how I got into fiber art, and show-and-tell scads of my work. What's not to have fun with?
So, I have a growing pile of notes and books and online research, but today I finalized a sample sheet to show why I am a fiber artist; no rules, try anything once, endless variety and do I have to say it? FUN!

From top left, clockwise...
- I colored the flower cartoon, then tried ironing it onto fabric. Not good...
- Then I colored directly onto fabric and ironed. Oh, yes!
- Next I used fabric markers. They were okay.
- Then I tried crayon onto light heat n bond stuff. Hmmm... further research needed.
- Satin stitched individual cloth petals then joined them into a lily. Not overly impressed.
- Free motion embroidered on a sparkly nylon fabric. Kinda cool!
