SoulSisters Sketchbook page for Marianne's Book

Marianne is sending her black cat, Sjimmie, around the world and he has arrived here in California (at the top of the orange state). He will meet Henry V of course, and the two of them will romp off into the sunflower fields and then meet up with the burrowing owls. After that, who knows what adventures they will have? But I can promise they will have a sunny time of it. The hand painted fabrics have been sewn down and sandwiched in batting and muslin, the whole piece is sewn free motion style. It includes photos by Lynn, cotton fabrics, paper and metallic threads. And soon it will fly off to Suki and her page will be added and Sjimmie will have even more adventures this time on the East Coast! This page is a mere six inches by six inches in size.

Y = Yarn on ABC Blog

I am telling blogger to save this till Sunday but it insists on publishing it today. ??? I can't remember the last time I knit something...must be well over a year ago. This is the first year in five I did not knit sweaters for the little kids. They are still wearing the ones I knit last year. But when I had to come up with a word starting with Y for the ABC blog ATC swap YARN came to mind so I drew this on the envelope to Laure... and this in watercolors and ink on the front of the ATC card. Yarn sometimes shows up in my multi media art quilts too.

Did I tell you that my five year old grand daughter is being taught to knit in her kindergarden class? I bought her some small Lion Brand knitting needles with little kitties on the ends.
