I was given white jeans to create a purse. She also picked a piece of fabric with a farm design making sure the chicken shows on the purse. This was the only request. As I started cutting fabric a thought pooed in my head that this white jeans would make great fringe. From there this purse design was created.

It is always fun to up cycle an old pair of jeans into a usable item has been fun. I like to challenge myself and let the materials speak to me. This purse is Navy with a linen and white geometric pattern. It adds a level of sophistication which screams for a special touch such as ostrich feathers. This fringed purse can be used for everyday or a special function. I love when people give me a challenge and I surprise them in a good way.

I started by drawing a Bison and a quote I liked on my whiteboard at work. I then asked AI to clean it up and switch the colors. I went one step further and asked AI to insert some of my pictures into the sketch. Here is my Bison Artwork .

This is a tied quilt which I completed recently. The front is filled with farm animals in the field. The back is a white flannel with yellow and blue polka dots that pull in some of the little bursts of colors sprinkled throughout the fabric. Such a fun pattern.

This quilt started with a small peice of fabric and wanting to try a walking quilt pattern which I saw on social media. The pattern turned out adorable and I expanded on the theme adding other material I found with a cattle/cow theme then backing it with a cow print back and binding with a pow print ruffle. This is totally farmstead and cowgirl dream!

Thanksgiving Tee shirt logo

I challenged ChatGPT and Google Gemini to make a tee shirt logo using same request. …Make a logo tee shirt design for “Wildflowers and Cast Iron”. The font should be a decorative calligraphy and curve around the center design. The center design should be a cast iron Dutch oven with a scalloped edge filled with bleeding hearts, peonies, forget me nots, wild roses in pinks and red. Sitting against the Dutch oven put a cute raccoon opening a valentine candy box. Here are the res

Merry Christmas from Wildflowers and Cast Iron. I had ChatGPT help me make these poster/tee shirt designs.

I worked with AI to come up with some vintage cowgirl designs.

This is a pretty simple idea I saw and I changed it up. Get a towel and hot pad set also a big button. Find the middle of the towel and at that point sew the bottom of the hot pad to that middle line. Fold over the hot pad and match the hot pad hanging hoop to where it will fold in half. See button on. Now ready to hang off handle of oven or dish washer.
