I've been buried in evergreen branches and pine pitch for more than the past week. So far I have gotten one order of wreaths made and picked up. I am now working on order #2 that will be picked up this coming Sunday afternoon. The first order only needed plain wreaths, the second one needs them all decorated with red bows, berries and pinecones. Most of the wreaths I make are sold to groups that re-sell them to raise funds.
This is the machine I use for the wreaths. The rings have metal prongs like big staples that are clamped onto the little bouquets of evergreens that make up the wreath. I stomp the pedal, the wire is bent over.
Next is a wreath completed, with pinecones and berries added. This got a bow before it was delivered to it's new home.
The last of the wreath workshop photos- A new load of greens were delivered just before the end of the day..... Looks like I didn't do anything at all. I did get 15 more wreaths done, but they are in a cold room, ready for decorating after all are constructed.
And now for the Rocks!!!! I have been taking a few minutes here and there to play with some more of my rocky art quilts. After being depressed by the rocks in my head during the summer and early fall, I am now beginning to enjoy doing these. The beading is really enjoyable- I'm now collecting gemstone chips, small "bead bugs", and other mossy, muddy colored beads to play with.
This is available for purchase at my Etsy Art Shop, and is 8"x10" in size.
Now that this is done, I better get back to my wreaths.... lots more to do in the next 4 days.
Another rainy day in PA, here. Today is the day i was supposed to start making Christmas wreaths for an order that is being picked up a week from today. My hands give me a lot of pain when I do too many in a day, so I try to spread out the work without beginning too early. These wreaths will be really fresh, because the greens won't be cut till tomorrow- To wet to cut today. I wanted them done yesterday, but that didn't happen.
I have also added 2 more pages to my website. Some of my 8"x10" Sunprint Mini Quilts now are on display and available for sale in their new page- another will be there soon with my simpler ones that same size. I also now have a page to answer the question "What do you do with those??" My Care and Display of Quilts page shows and tells how to care for your art quilts, and different display ideas for them.
Sherbet Fern is available on the 8x10" Suprint Series 1 Page, and Beside the Door is an example of a quilt mounted on a fabric covered artist canvas- one of the ways to display little quilts. "Beside the Door" is available for purchase at my Etsy Art Shop.
Well, with the rainy, warm day out there, I am off to the studio to play with my "rocks and mud".
I still have some books that I am offering for sale. Most of them have only been opened once, and kept on the shelf. A couple have been used more, but are in great shape. Any damage, etc. is listed with the comments for each book. Some of them are based on more traditional quilts, while a couple are how to's for ribbon embroidery, that I never have had the time to try, and probably never will. Others have great info, but if we have to uproot and move, I need to lessen the load a bit.
If you see something you would like, please email me- sue @
andrusgardensquilts dot com (or use the email link in left sidebar),
and I will let you know if I still have
the book(s) wanted, and price for shipping. (I will try to remove books
from the list as they sell, but I may not keep up well) I will then
send a Paypal
invoice for payment (you don't need a Paypal account to pay this way), and ship as soon as payment is received. The book titles link to the info page at Amazon so you can see covers and get some more info. I have
priced them within prices I found at Amazon, not the lowest, but what I
feel is fair for their condition.
