Recently I received some good advice from members of The Purse Forum. As soon as I get a new batch of bags made I'll post them on Etsy.com. This seems like a good place to start in getting my ArtBug Bags more visible on the Web. Not too many people have 'discovered' this blog :) Thanks ladies!!!

Batiks are some of my all-time favorite fabrics!! This is a quilt for a nephew who likes hunting, fishing, and outdoorsy things. I couldn't bring myself to make a 'theme' quilt with fish prints -just too cute!- instead it was fun to work with these beautiful Bali Batiks and the indigo/white Dutch wax resist fabrics. I hope he likes it as much as I do.

Oh man. I had such good intentions about my blog in August & here we are on the verge of April! I went back to a 'real job' in September and have had precious little time in the studio. Now the sun is starting to shine, snow is beginning to melt, and the creative ventures I looked forward to for the winter never took place. I have cabin fever, not to get OUT, but to go INSIDE, in the studio with fabric, leather, and paints. I need to do something creative!
