Urban Surfaces Giveaway

September's queen, Leslie Jenison, chose the theme Urban Surfaces.

Leslie loves the layered textures of old walls, peeling paint, graffiti, etc., on building walls. There is something about that sort of layering that holds such a fascination for her and this month's hand made fabrics do not  disappoint!

If you love urban surfaces and would like to win the 6"x6" collection of hand painted fabrics please leave a comment below before October 15th!  Then hop on over to everyone's blog to see how each piece was made:

Printed Fabric Bee Giveaway - Inspirational Words

It's time for the Printed Fabric Bee Giveaway!

I was so excited to be the Queen Bee this month. For my challenge I’ve asked for my piece to be 8 x 18 and it’s all about INSPIRATIONAL WORDS. For those of you who don’t know me, I have always been a writer, and it was through writing my newspaper column about local artists that I came to fabric surface design. I envision this collection as flags in my studio offering me inspiration and smiles every day. My favorite colors right now remind me of the Southwest and include (but not limited to) orange, light green, blue, and dark plum.

As with every month, each artist also makes a 6 x 6 piece for the giveaway. Here is the collection.

If you'd love to win this collection, just leave a comment on this blog post. The deadline is Wednesday, September 10 at 8 am CST.  Good Luck!
