I have a few collections/galleries started and will add more daily. This is Daisy Day, my photo set in a mat, you can order prints, my work framed and matted, canvas, medal, posters, all ship to you in just days, no printing at home.
I am asked about a post I did a few years ago and I’m working it into a book. I came to the part about happiness and what keeps coming back to me is The Quilt Ladies, they are my heart, my happiness, the start….here is
The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop it’s going strong, thanks to all your support. I could never do or give away what I do without your purchases.
It was one of the hardest things to do a few years ago to change myself up and start doing…what I like, love and need to do. www.bethanndoing.com was born. The Quilt Ladies are my heart and the quilt patterns will never go away, my Ladies seem to bring me peace, when nothing else can. I’m six years into photography and it’s opened my eyes up to see things a different way. I have taken classes, field trip, shot photos with others, but now it’s all about me ! See what I am doing, I maybe come a brand….it’s only taken me….eighteen years ! ! To figure myself, my work, my life and my art all out. NEVER say NEVER !
Everything is a process and working through that process is a mindset you have to have inside of you ! No one can do it for you, YOU have to do what ever it is YOU see yourself doing or becoming. The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop is my daily excitement, what you like, what I like, how to do a quilt pattern at the great price and give you what you need.
I heard you all said, “I don’t want to do the work.” I’m using Fine Art America, a great company, that does all the work for you, just want a print?they do it, want my work on canvas? they do it, framing and matting is no problem for them. Most pieces ship in only days. Thank you all for your love support and kind words.
I had an email and the question, “How can you do it all?” Easy, I LOVE IT all. Hours seem like minutes and days seem like hours, I have found my groove. I do work 3-4 hours a day at everything and I love it. I enjoy what I do and who I am. This has taken me the past year to figure out. I went to my core because of what I thought I knew was turned on it’s head. But, I did it and I am better today than yesterday. So, here’s a sample of the Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop~ TAKE a LOOK !
As with children, no favorite…. BUT this quilt pattern is NAMED after ME…. Maybe a favorite ?? B. Annie Quilt Pattern
This is just a FEW of the 15 quilt patterns in the book. All with cutting and piecing instructions, the complete quilt pattern and my quilt ladies stories.
And before you ask, they had been in print, but with printing cost what they are, I moved them to Kindle and NOOK. I priced them out not long ago, going through kindle, with 450+ pages, cost retail was crazy, they will stay as they are on Kindle and NOOK.
Thank you for supporting my Etsy shop and my Quilt Ladies Book on Kindle and Nook, nothing is possible without your purchases, Beth
I’ve set myself a goal, clean out quilt files and save quilt pictures in the RIGHT File with the RIGHT Name on it…???…!!! It’s been a bit impossible, because I see something and I go down a rabbit hole, out comes draft paper, my camera, color pencils and more ideas.
But, look what I did find. The original art work, I did for The Quilt Ladies Book. This is the way The Quilt Ladies looked when I first had them printed and sold as single books. Cover designs done by Rita, here is her NOW
Printing costs going through the ROOF ! and digital being the thing, I moved them. (If you purchased one of the original sets or single books, THANK YOU, you make a dream come true for me.)
