On this last day of September, the autumn colors of Anchorage have been replaced with a blanket of white snow. It’s quite beautiful, but in my studio the world is still green grass and blue skies with an occasional autumn piece popping up. I’ve been creating more couples lately and I’ve been enjoying dressing the […]

Discover Your Magic
Almost 15 years ago, I was jotting down ideas for an online moniker to use when I join a fun group called the Postcard Fairies. The Postcard Fairies are a network of succulent folks who make and send postcards all over the world with a message that we are all connected. My usual online handle […]
Dance the Night Away
This quilt was an in-progress Magpie Girl class sample, meaning it was half finished for over a year. The background was fused, quilted and the girl had been added and outline stitched. I wasn’t feeling the magpie vibe and the white dress was just so white. So I decided to play! Inspired by STITCHED 2015 […]
Figures Pink
Earlier this year a local quilt shop was selling everything so they could move out of state – I picked up a yard or two of a few prints and continued to wade through the chaos. When I saw charm packs of the Zen Chic Figures line, I took almost all o them knowing that […]

Create Happiness
I like the paint splatter look of this batik with the subtle pinks and oranges. When I create the dresses for these girls, I wonder if I would like to design dresses for real people. This thought is more prevalent when a new season of Project Runway is airing. Create happiness (5.5†x 9â€) How […]

Dream BIG
I have fallen for a new fabric designer – Alison Glass. The bright colors of her Sun Print collection are great for mini quilts like this one and her Handcrafted line is perfect for journals. There are other lines, but I have not had a chance to play with them…yet. I enjoy pairing these happy […]
Happy Girl Trio
These girls at play are all wearing blue and yellow to match the colors of a sorority. Joy is a jump rope and a pretty day Each one measures about 10†x 15â€. I chose to use aqua for the sky and lighter greens for the grass to let the blue and yellow dresses shine. […]
