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 […]
Make Time for Fun
Our modern lives are packed full of doing and often we forget the fun. I’ve been trying to make it a priority to make time for fun everyday – doing the puzzles in the newspaper, dancing silly, watching a favorite shows, sewing/creating – anything that pulls me away from doing and lets my brain and […]
Purple Bike

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 […]

Fascinator
Tiny mushrooms… upon her head… Mushroom Fascinator (11†x 14â€) This was the final quilt I created to celebrate mushroom hunting season and Fungus Fair. I just love all the fussy cut mushrooms adorning her headband.
Quilt Show Fun

Show weekend is always fun but very exhausting. These quilts won awards. I want to make a zebra quilt now. The purple and teal quilt was created with […]
