Pieceful Design

Pieceful Design Welcome to Pieceful Design! Jennifer is currently the most over-educated stay-at-home mom in Arizona. Her drug of choice was fabric.

Although originally gainfully employed, a series of cross-country moves in the last decade convinced her to abandon that Ivy League education and focus on her children. But, alas, with all that free time, Jennifer quickly descended into addiction. Quilting was her gateway drug, and she joyfully hand-quilted several quilts for friends and family. Sadly, though, she discovered that working with just

a few fabrics at a time was just not enough anymore; she needed the “high” of creating with a variety of fabrics on a daily basis. Eventually, she taught herself to make baskets and bowls out of beautifully color-saturated batik fabrics. Jennifer now spends virtually every day creating these pieces: wrapping strips of these rich fabrics around cotton clothesline, which she then coils and sews into circles, ovals, hearts, and even, sadly, triangles. Although Jennifer claims that there is a genetic predisposition to fabric addiction, she can’t blame the generations of quilters that came before her. Jennifer is currently residing in Scottsdale with her ever-patient husband, two scary-smart kids, and a very uncooperative dog.

Hitting the rhythm of your week? Here’s a very sped up look at the creation of the base for this bowl. It’s going to be fairly large, with a gorgeous color transition. Just wait until you see the finished piece!

Some slow sewing to ease you into your Monday morning. I’ve also included some wrapping footage here// not only can you get a glimpse of the ombre as the fabric switches from green to blue, but you can also see the angle I use to wrap.

Like the video? Think others need to see this kind of zen in their feeds? It’s super helpful to creators if you like and share!

There’s nothing like starting off the week with a new project. And it definitely doesn’t hurt when the fabric is amazing! I know I’ve shown this part before, but this is from a slightly different angle….plus the chrome makes is so very 💜pretty💜.

If you have a dog, then you know all about the clumps of dog hair that end up everywhere. And if you have a black dog, then I know you’re all too familiar with the ever-present black dog hair tumbleweeds that no amount of cleaning will ever eradicate.

Cotton quilt batting? It’s a dog hair tumbleweed magnet. A giant roll of said batting might just attract dog hair from three counties away.

Mr Pieceful suggested I just put a trash bag over the bottom. Mr Pieceful was, of course, wrong. (Sorry, my love). I needed something that was bright and colorful and gave me an excuse to cut into that great bolt of fabric.

And, it doesn’t hurt that the whole project is just a wee bit goofy. But so far? No dog hair on the batting. That’s a win!

New fabric reveal! And an explanation of how I’m going to cut and use it to work my magic.

While I’m mostly done moving into my new studio (full tour coming soon, I promise!), I wanted to put organizing on hold to take an afternoon to hide something that was driving me nuts.

This is my shipping station and computer work station. And while I’ve done a good job of keeping everything close at hand, I’m also notorious in my family for using every last square inch of space. My kids lovingly(?) called my last studio the “Fire Trap.” (I think they were kidding….but they are both mining engineers with a focus on health and safety…so…maybe not.)

Anyway, this space is great, but the area under the desk is, shall we say, ugly.

Enter the antique sewing machine fabric. I picked this up more than a year ago (at Lancaster Home and Fabrics, previously Weaver’s Dry Goods — my absolute favorite quilt shop, btw) without knowing what I’d use it for in my new space. And, it’s perfect for this project!

So, a little measuring, ironing sewing and with the magic of Velcro, I think it’s pretty perfect!

Can you wait 48 seconds for the reveal? (And if you didn’t know, watching a video to the end makes a HUGE difference for creators!)

And now the bad news…this one is already sold and on its way to its new owner. (Yes, that is good news for me!) Did you know that you can pre-purchase pieces when you see the videos pop up? Just send me a DM and I can let you know if a piece is still available. Most of what I make is one of a kind, so it’s best to reach out when you see something you love!

Kaia is ever vigilant….through her eyelids. 💜🐕‍🦺🐾.

A teeny tiny bowl, start to finish in about 30 seconds. Yes, I saved this one for myself.

Many people ask “what do you use the little bowls for?” And while I seem to be Team Tiny Bowl, I kind of feel like it’s obvious. I mean doesn’t everyone have tiny bowls holding tiny treasures all over their space? I mean, where else would I put my machine needles or my lip balm or my thimbles or my safety pins or my pennies or my rings or my paper clips if they aren’t all in individual tiny bowls?

Or is it just me? If it just me, then I still think y’all are weird and I’m the normal one.

It’s Monday already.

When I started to put this video together, I thought it was going to be a funny transition-from-then-weekend-to-Monday piece. But then I started listening closely to the lyrics, and liked this selection even more. Somehow I’d missed the meaning of this song all these years.

And, honestly, as a small business owner, Monday vs the weekend doesn’t mean a whole lot. After all— I work every day anyway, Mr Pieceful is retired, and our kids are grown ups living their lives in other parts of the country.

That being said, Costco is much quieter on a Monday….
