Quiltsy Feature of Sewupscale



My block taken at the Catawba River Greenway Park in Morganton,NC 

I'm so excited for SewUpscale to be featured on the Etsy Quiltsy Team Blog.   The Quiltsy Team is making a traveling quilt.  The quilt is made up of log cabin blocks that are going from city to city.  Each quilter adds their block to the row.  Sewupscale participated in the Southeast row.  After the row is completed, it will be sent to a quilter to sew the rows together and then to someone to quilt the whole thing. After finishing, it will be offered for sell on the team shop.

We were all supposed to take a picture of our block somewhere in our community.  I chose the Catawba River Greenway Park since it is so beautiful even in the winter.

Here is picture of the row after adding my block.  As you can see, the quilt is made of blue, green and purple.

Painting with Thread

I recently posted a blog where I talked about drawing with scissors.  Today I am going to talk about painting with thread.  Do you know anyone who loves thread?  They must be weird, huh?  Ok, so I love thread.  Some people are obsessed with buying jewelry or shoes or clothes but I am obsessed with  buying thread (and fabric but that's a whole other article).  My thread holders are full and have overflowed to a box.   See--

Does anyone think this is too much thread? I've even overflowed to my sewing table but all this thread is actually very necessary to create the effect.  Take a look at the final result.

Here is an example of using thread to make the picture:

Drawing With Scissors

I've never considered myself to be an artist.  I can't really draw anything with a pencil or paint a picture.  But put a pair of scissors in my hand and I can make fabric come to life.  Then give me a sewing machine and it's like having a paint brush in my hand.

I make quilted fabric postcards that are either 4" by 6" or 5" by 7".  Mostly I make landscapes but also enjoy any kind of nature theme.  I can even create hstorical buildings too.   It has become my passion.  I also make landscape wall hangings but I'm not as obsessed with making them. 

Selling my postcards on Etsy is a way to be able to make more.  If you don't buy them, I can't make more.  I've already given gifts to all my friends and relatives.  What would I do with them?  They would run me out of house and home! 

Thank you to everyone who appreciates my art.  Hope to be able to bring more of these postcards to life.
