I was excited to see you had a fiber/mixed media board but it seems very quiet in here so i thought I would post a few of my old pieces (I haven't stitched in several years) and hope I would wake it up a bit. Anyone else here sew?

Wow, Diane! Those are amazing!
I'd love to be able to do that. Did you hand stitch or use a machine or do a combination?
I love to sew but I don't have a good area for sewing. I enjoy small clothing repairs though! LOL

I enjoy small clothing repairs though! LOL Everything i did was hand stitching except the small patchwork frame on the second piece. I even did the edging on the belt by hand. I have a machine but we have a love/mainly hate relationship lol And thank you so much, I do adore to stitch and often think I should pick my needle up again.

Diane those pieces are stunning! I’ve recently picked up quilting again - an appliqué elephant. Just getting started. It will likely be a quilt for my grandson, but I may do an extra block to embellish. Also have have a panel Hoffman “Skylines” that I am hand quilting and will likely embellish. Here it is:

Gorgeous work, Diane! I can't sew to save my life, I never learned it and also never felt the urge to learn it. That moon in the first picture is so cool.
Michelle, that's a beautiful panel. Let us see if you embellish it.

Aw thanks so much to you all, It is one of my main passions and I can't believe I haven't touched a needle in so long. Michelle that panel is stunning, so rich and full of color. I can't wait to see it finished!

That is some beautiful work, cymmy and michelle! I love the details and colors. I'm like Cat - never learned how to sew, but there are times I wish I had. The only thing I've done with fiber is a type of Mexican folk art that involves cutting pieces of felt and gluing them together to make an image. I did this one in a summer school class when I helped a Spanish teacher friend who taught the class. I saw some absolutely gorgeous quilts at the fair this past weekend and will post pics of those later. Dawn

I love the elephant, Dawn! While I pretty much enjoy all critters, elephants are one of my favorites.

Gorgeous pieces, Diane. I especially love the third one.
Michelle, I agree with Diane. The colors are fabulous.
Dawn, the elephant is adorable.

Diane, I really enjoy all the tiny details in your pieces! The middle one is my favorite, so much energy there! Michelle, that is a beautiful panel, so vibrant! I love the elephant Dawn! That's one of my favorite motifs.

Thank you, ladies! I think most of the people here who have known me for a while know that I'm a bit of an elephant nut. Dawn
