Week 23: One color block print on cotton. I’m still a week behind on prints, but I’ll have a new one for you tomorrow, which means I’ll get caught up before the middle of the year. Whew! The last coup

May Two-color block print on linen Garment pattern: Self-drafted (top based on Grainline Studio’s Tiny Pocket Tee) Fabric: 100% linen (brand unknown; from my wholesale linen supplier) Ink: Blick I’d originally planned to make this dress with more of a blouson top (and had drafted the pattern and created a muslin to reflect that). But […]

Overlook, by Valerie Lueth in collaboration with Paul Roden Log, by Valerie Lueth in collaboration with Paul Roden This week’s printmaker is Pittsburgh-based artist Valerie Lueth of Tugboat Printshop. A self-described “prairie gal” (born in Iowa and raised in rural South Dakota), Valerie creates intricate woodcuts of the natural world. Her work is large and […]

Week 51: One-color block prints on linen and cotton. Here we are – the penultimate (I’ve been waiting 51 weeks to use that word) print! I thought it would be fun to make gift wrap, but after five minutes of printing on paper, I gave up. I just prefer printing on fabric. Thankfully, I have […]

August Two-color block print on a linen-cotton blend. Garment pattern: Sonya Philip’s Dress #2 (shortened, and with an altered neckline) Fabric: Robert Kaufman’s Essex Ink: Blick Marimekko released its fall collection this month, so I decided that I wanted to sew a loose, boxy blouse with a large, bold print for August’s garment. The really […]

The first of my books, "Print, Pattern Sew", which Publishers Weekly calls an “alluring” and “gorgeous book,” was published May 22, 2018.

Week 52: Two-color block print on linen. Well, here we are. Week 52. I had all kinds of ideas of what the final print would be – something complex, something grand, something to segue into my 2015 project – but the print ended up being nothing like what I’d thought it would be. On Monday, […]

Portland-based artist Kelli MacConnell carefully explores landscapes, then translates her natural surroundings into richly detailed prints. For her, printmaking serves as a key vehicle in fostering a relationship between humans and the natural world. She is currently working on an ongoing series of prints called Prints for Preservation. She talks about this project – and […]

Week 24: Two-color block print on linen. This isn’t a color combination I think I’ve ever used, but I’m feeling very 1970s this week. The 70s were in when I was in high school in the early 90s, and I loved dressing up in my mom’s old clothes from that era (and listening to the […]

I love pattern. I realize I’m stating the obvious here, since you’ve probably already noticed that. Often, though, I’ll see a pattern I like, or I’ll sketch something pleasing, but won’t have a use for it at that moment. Or, I’ll need to futz with my sketch until it works for me. I often file […]
