Paintstik Rubbings Using Vintage Indonesian Tjaps

April 3, 2014 ShellyStokes

by Judy Gula, Artistic Artifacts Paintstiks are the perfect product to use for creating rubbings from Vintage Indonesian Tjaps. [Tjap is pronounced “chop.”] Tjaps, both new and the antiques I’m featuring here, are batik tools that are handcrafted from narrow strips of copper and copper wire that are used to stamp wax patterns into fabric.

Shelly Recommends: Wreath Quilt Project

November 22, 2012 ShellyStokes

If you are like me, you like to take a little bit of time to do something creative before the Christmas holidays. I don’t always have time to make a lot of gifts, but I love to make a little something special to decorate the house. (Not to mention, I like to carve out some […]

Mermaids Dream — And Shelli Ricci’s Quilts Sing!

July 30, 2012 ShellyStokes

Sheli Ricci, of Apple Valley, MN, is one of the most fun and energetic people I know. She always has a smile on her face and a song in her heart — when she’s not singing out loud, that is! I had the good fortune of meeting Shelli several years ago, and I’m just thrilled […]

Hawaiian Quilts In A Hurry!

June 18, 2012 ShellyStokes

Last week, we talked about paintstik appliqué – and how it’s a whole lot faster to add images to fabric with paintstik color than with traditional appliqué. Today, I want to go one step further and talk about “extreme appliqué.” In case you’re wondering, I’m talking about those magnificent two-color Hawaiian quilts. Think about it… […]

Linda Clark’s Terrific Texture Hunt

April 16, 2012 ShellyStokes

A few weeks ago, I showed you some Stencil Brush Rubbings by Linda Clark. (You can see that article by clicking here.) I was so intrigued by Linda’s experiments that I sent her a list of questions — and I’m thrilled that she is willing to share with everyone. Here’s the scoop on Linda’s texture […]

No More Boring Borders!

March 26, 2012 ShellyStokes

On Friday, a message arrived from Linda Clark (Ontario, Canada) to let me know she had been playing with Stencil Brush Rubbings. But here’s the catch… Linda did her experiments in January — long before I posted the article at the end of February. (If I were more technically savvy, I’d play the theme from […]

Shhhh… You Won’t Find This Technique In Any Books…

February 27, 2012 ShellyStokes

As you know, I collected 12 of my favorite techniques for playing with Rubbing Plates and piled everything everything I could possibly fit into the pages of Rubbing Plate Roundup. Unfortunately, not everything fit! Drat and double-drat! I want to make amends for my omission today by sharing one of the “missing techniques” that really […]

How Much Do I Love My Tools? Let Me Count The Ways…

November 21, 2011 ShellyStokes

I have to confess that I’m a bit of a tool-aholic. I have more rulers, cutters, paints, brushes and miscellaneous goodies in my work spaces than Heinz has pickles. (My husband has kindly developed a blind eye toward my weakness. I think he figures I could have worse vices…) With such a great collection of […]

Candice Bag Is A Perfect Travel Companion & A Giveaway!

November 6, 2011 ShellyStokes

I don’t normally carry large handbags, but Lazy Girl’s new Candice bag was an absolute lifesaver at the big Houston Quilt Market. As I mentioned in the newsletter, she’s perfect for a business trip, with a pocket for my iPad and that all-important cord and power converter. She’s big enough to carry my show paper […]

Spice Up Your Space with Sizzling Sunflowers

August 15, 2011 ShellyStokes

The Sunflower Quilt featured in our ads was featured in Fons & Porters Love of Quilting back in 2006. The commission to do that article was the highlight to my very first Quilt Market in the fall of 2005. The years have flown by, and I’ve had a ton of amazing adventures, but this little […]
