  3. Met you at the Fibre Arts Retreat, we were almost sitting side by side. I was enthralled with your stitched journal. I attended Quilt Canada and was humbled by the beautiful quilts. I was able to take a class with Anna Hergert, Kantha Quilting, another form of hand stitching. I look forward to following your work now that I know how you are. Hadn't got beyond the name Penny, until yesterday. Glad I found you.

  8. My favorite part is how you have used the fabric starting with a very lite background and moving toward a darker background for the holdiay/winter time. Very cool!

    1. Actually that is just coincidence! I usually just make a strip of whatever fabric speaks to me at the time.

    2. LOL-the cloth was speaking to you to create the lovely ombre looking cloth at the end!

  10. I really enjoy the beauty of your designs. As I am just embarking on a journal year and have not done this before, could you please tell me how to start. Do you use to 2 layers of very long strips or add sometimes as you go along? Any particular types of fabrics work best? Thank you for your inspiration.

  12. Wonderful! I loved seeing these and especially since I've been doing a daily tapestry practice since 2008 (for one month then)--and throughout the year since 2009. I wrote about the 2015 one when I cut it from the loom at the end of December; here's my blog post about that: http://tapestry13.blogspot.com/2016/01/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-do-that.html

    I love the thought of doing a small devotion to practice daily... even in the midst of doing other time consuming works.

    Thank you for sharing about your beautiful work.

  17. Pinterest suggested that I might like this post, and boy do I! I don't know if you've continued this since your original one(s), but I think it's a fabulous idea and really beautiful work. I'm so glad you shared it and so glad you've kept it out there for us to see. Thank you for the beauty and inspiration.
