Donna Dewberry sews!
 
Anyone use her techniques? I have a little & actually they are really great! Truthfully , I think her painting is 'old', 80's...& sometimes her voice irritates me! lol. BUt , she does show some good sewing techniques!

I have seen the sewing segment at the ends of some shows. Seems to be more of a fold and sew technique rather than regular piecing. She had a fabric line a while back and I bought a great border print that I used for a Triangle Frenzy table runner.

boy i remember when she started. She had long hair down past the middle of her back.

I like her and her paintings but her way of sewing I think to me would be a lot of extra fabric and then you need the fusible stuff she uses to hold all the fabric together another expense but they are nice quilts/wall hangings

You can always do like Nancy Z does, she uses glue sticks to hold things together while she sews or serges. I think for some who don't like all the cutting stuff her fold and go method really works. I've seen her do some cute items and alot easier.

Love you table runner. Bright and cheerful.

I use to love watching her paint. I have an old book of things that used her fabric line. I have not made anything from it.

I use to like watching her paint. She made it look so easy.

She is definitely a very talented lady! When we built a house in the early 90's, I went to her little shop she had back then (before she became "famous") and bought several items she had painted. Then I hired her to do my kitchen wallpaper and design my living room drapes. (What she helped me pick out was bold- so not me- but was my all-time favorite designs.) I no longer own that house, but one of her painted metal pans sits on the shelf of my sewing room and I think of her often.
