Textile Artist and Designer Kathy Barlow's print and stitch California Poppies project about two-thirds complete shown outside under a blue sky and trees canopy. Kathy's original pattern was hand roller-printed in an ombré of burgundy-magenta pink, golden yellow and orange inks onto rustic linen, then hand embroidered in an assortment of warm-toned cotton embroidery floss and pearl cottons.

Print and Stitch in action! My roller printed and #handembroidered California Poppies are coming along. From my stash, this fabrics-store.com rustic linen piece (backed with iron-on stitching stabilizer) is a dream background.

The large pizza oven at Main Street Kitchen in Walnut Creek, California, that is beautifully all-over tiled in rounded ceramic tile shapes in shades of blue, green, aqua and white, with dark grout. There is a red-hot fire in the back of the oven and hot stones on its cooking surface.

I hunt for pattern and color in my everyday, as well as when traveling. I just HAD to share this gorgeous pizza oven with you—talk about tile terrificness! This from a delish lunch w/ my bestie at Main Street Kitchen in #WalnutCreek.

Kathy's vintage secretary desktop, with an assortment of embroidery threads, a piece of hand-block printed fabric after heat setting, and a variety of creative tools and inspirational items, a favorite being a Ruth Bader Ginsburg bobblehead doll.

Missing Ruth.

Textile designer Kathy Barlow's hand #embroidered #embellishment in progress, on a piece of hand- roller printed rustic #linen. The linen is printed in an organic #California poppies design in a gradient of warm oranges, magenta and burgundy pinks and yellows. The stitching is being done in a variety of warm-colored cotton floss and pearl cotton.

#WIP Print and Stitch in progress. Embroidering the first poppies piece that I roller-printed last month. I will stich random poppies, leaving much of the print exposed. Loving how this looks on the rustic linen.

I am so sorry for your loss of your friend. Here is Wilbur in some warm towels for you.
