Collaboration pillow w/ Daisy Janie in current Living Crafts magazine

I've said it before, you never know what awaits you on the road ahead. 

Back in late January early February, I made a pillow woven with some fabulous Daisy Janie Shades of Grey fabric.  While I was excited to work with Jan, I was a bit nervous about how I was going to make this pillow.  Weaving seat belts pillows is one thing but cutting/sewing/weaving fabric (especially as beautiful as Daisy Janie's) is something completely different. 

That bit of unease was enough of a challenge for me so I put on my big girl pants and went to work.  Well, that pillow (and the photo I took) can be seen in the current Living Crafts magazine.  Proof that you just never know where a project, collaboration, challenge will take you.

Thanks, again, Jan for the opportunity to work with your beautiful fabric (still have some house shoes in the works).

I'd also like to give a shout out to Vicki Diane Designs! Vicki has been making treasuries on Etsy, featuring artist's faces. What a great way to promote the artists AND actually see some faces behind the work. Here is the current treasury: http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=33145 . Thank you, Vicki!

She featured me along with some other fellow Arts in RI peeps earlier this week:
