Antique Seed Catalog Cover
From my archives of collected images, I chose a Burpee's Seed Catalog cover to "vectorize."

Happy Thanksgiving to All of You With ...
... plant-based diets!
We're having the vegan works:
Stuffing and gravy with seitan roast, green bean casserole with French fried onions topping, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and Mom's famous refrigerator potato rolls.
AND MORE, depending on what everyone else brings.

Vintage Dress Patterns
My Mom was a seamstress who sewed all my clothes until I was a teenager, and then I started sewing them myself.
Shopping for dress patterns and fabric, then, is practically in my DNA. Combine that with my love of designs, and for turning vintage images into vector, and VIOLA! You have what you see below.

Baseball Ticket Transformed
Like most designers, I collect digital images for references. I have hundreds (thousands?) and they keep me inspired and motivated, and give me ideas when my creative well has run dry.
This baseball ticket is another example of a great original image, a thing of vintage beauty.
My version is below. I call it A Ticket to Life.

Quilt Label Sighting - Modern Yardage Meets Modern Patchwork
Quilting is alive and well, a great hobby and timeless art form.
Modern Patchwork magazine keeps quilters up to date on what's new and classic, and has an ardent following of quilters, DIY-ers and sewing enthusiasts.
I was happy, then, to see Modern Yardage quilt labels were featured in a Hot Picks review in Modern Patchwork magazine.
One of the labels shown is mine, the one with the little birds in the lower left.
See it here at Modern Yardage.

Here's what you'll end up with! It's a great size, pretty much the dimensions of a plastic grocery bag.
