I am loving your blog! Aren't Jennifer's fabrics just to die for-- all of them. She just sent me a few fq.s of Prelude and I'm so looking forward to working with htme! Both of my girls have just started riding and i would LOVE to make them saddle pads for Christmas. I know a lot about sewing but not so much about saddle pads. Did you use a pattern for this? Also, what sort of interfacing or batting did you use? Did you quilt it? Any info you are willing to divulge would be super helpful. Looking forward to keeping up with your posts and loads of sisboom goodness. Thanks!
For my Dad. A vagabond at heart who gave up his wanderings to be home with his wife and four daughters. While he continued limited travel for business, I know there was many a trip that was not taken. He was full of grand stories and exaggerated accounts of sailing the high seas and what he would encounter in foreign ports. There is a poem that he would often quote, "Vagabond House" by Don Blandings, and a sign "Vagabond House" hung over the doorway of his workshop and refuge. There in his Vagabond House he would load up a pipe with Borkum Riff tobacco, sip a martini, and create assemblages with items he had collected on his worldly travels and in his backyard. He used what was readily at hand and allowed time and the space around him help his art to take shape This flow is what I aspire to.
Finding inspiration in the animal and plant life around me.
Learning age old techniques used by different cultures around the globe now and in ancient times.
