Currently working on these cute mug rugs. So much fun to whip up! Using vintage ribbons, lace and fabrics. Stitched free-motion style and cut out into heart shapes. Working through my grief in my own artistic way.

I love creating vintage from vintage. Here is one of my latest covers. Using paper napkins, inks to create a very cool vintage looking book. This will eventually be filled with pages for journal writing or cardstock for photo collecting. Working through grief by creating original designs. One day at a time!

I am slowly getting back into the artsy swing of things. Gary passed this past June. My new path has been challenging and also invigorating. Art has been my passion ever since I was a child. I am blessed that I have this wonderful passion in my life to absorb my everyday thoughts.

Art: In between my stitching and tin tile paintings. I absolutely love working on vintage books and the like. I find it very therapeutic repurposing old books into original one of a kind designs… Here is the cover of one of my repurposed books. Enjoy!

Another passion outside of “Classic Rides” is my love for Portraits.  This one is titled “Magdalena” aka the legendary Frida Kahlo.  Heavily stitched using amazing Valdani Threads.  Hand-painted linen background, using approximately 16 individual tin tiles from my collection. I first saw her exhibit many years ago while in Washington, D.C.  Still working on a fairly large collection of portrait pieces that represent a homage to the great Frida Kahlo…..Currently “Magdalena” is on display amongst wonderful fiber art presented by Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists. Location: Rancho Buena Vista Adobe Gallery, Vista, Ca.  Additional info here….Beyond the Edge.

Note: Butterflies/Parrot are made with Valdani wool-heavily stitched using variegated cotton, rayon threads from Valdani.   #gottalovewhatudo
