I like to make all kinds of quilts, from postcard to king-size. I have a Gammill longarm quilting machine, several domestic sewing machines, and also work with a Babylock Embellishing machine. In the past few years, I have tried my hand at painting with watercolors and art journaling. I also throw in a little nature photography and the occasional travel or grandchild pictures. Thanks for stopping by!

Here are two new pages that I painted with watercolors in my interleaved Bible.
Psalm 1
For both of these, I applied clear gesso to the page first. I also tried using masking fluid to preserve some of the white of the paper. I was afraid that removing the masking fluid might tear the thin pages, but they held up fine. The clear gesso makes the page much more slick, so the paint slides around more. We have a young niece who recently suffered a stroke and had to have surgery to relieve pressure on her brain. She remains in the ICU. I painted the next page for those who are anxious and worried about her. Philippians 4:6-9 has gotten me through a lot of anxious times.
