I am still getting occasional comments here, so I wanted to let you all know that my new website is alive and well over at kristinshieldsart.com. Please come on over and join me! Lots of stuff has happened in the last 6 months.
I have moved over all the content from Typepad to my Squarespace blog so you won't miss a thing. There are easy ways to subscribe to the new blog, but also a built in shop, portfolios, and workshop listings.

Well, it's time to move on from Typepad. I have heard a lot of good things about Squarespace lately, especially as a platform for artists. I have set up my new space on the internet at:
Please come and check it out. This link will take you to the home page and from there you can click the blog link. There is a subscribe button if you'd like to have blog posts sent to you by email. There is also a contact form if you have any questions about anything at all.
I really appreciate all of you who have been following my blog over the years and don't want to lose you! One thing I was able to do with this transition is transfer all of my posts from this blog, my old blog Knit One Quilt Too, my old unschooling blog Live Love Laugh Learn and my little known art blog. The main task I have now is to clean up all the old blog posts so that will go on in the background even as I add new blog posts. There is a new post over there today, so check it out!

Here's the pile of 10 fabric postcards for the Wendy's Wish fundraiser at the Sisters Quilt Show this year. I'll be delivering them tomorrow. Here's some news- I'll be starting my first day of work at the Stitchin' Post tomorrow. I'll be working there Mondays and Tuesdays. I'm excited!
So, these next three are made using some leftover stitched trees. I had these trees in my Etsy shop as ornaments. I just cut off the hanging loop and stitched them to a background. The bottom two are again stitched to pieces from an old cutter quilt. These were fun and quick to do. I'm happy to have found a good use for the trees too!

I have several fabric postcards to turn into the quilt show this year. Today I'm showing the three that were made from the challenge fabric (the blue on the bird and cat and the green on the dog). The first two are made with all new fabric. The last one includes a bird that is appliqued to a piece of an old cutter quilt. They are all made with needle turn applique and hand embroidery. My favorite is the dog!
