Part of the Process

In addition to the actual craft of sewing, I make my own "business cards." Yesterday turned out to be a very productive day: I made 30 cards.  As far as business cards go, thirty doesn't sound plentiful. Because I attach them to the quilts, I now feel obligated (and inspired!) to make those thirty blankets.

In high school I made a wood block print. It's very basic, not at all skilled, but I'm always really proud of it. I used this print of a woman's portrait to be the image for Alberta Marie.





 With a brayer (thank you, Dad, for teaching me its name), I roll on the paint.










I press down on paper. (I use standard notecards.)

 After they dry, I use my typewriter to label them.

This picture is pretty superfluous, but especially pretty. Notice the nose and lip accents?
That just happened! My stamp doesn't have fancy schmancy details like those.
