Before the tooth extraction I managed to create 13 zipper creatures in a variety of sizes. I used the pattern for the smaller ones and then made it up for the big ones. All these with just 12 fat quarters! They are super fun and would look good in a variety of patterns like x-mas […]
Tooth Update
Night in my studio (I was tying a knot in leather cording) I haven’t been sewing much at all. The root canal tooth was extracted last week and everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. There’s been tears, frustration, a trip to the ER and boatloads of pain. I’ve been doped up on pain […]

I finished quilting and binding 5 more quilts for holiday gifts – most of these are for my nephews and niece. Here are tiny photos of some of these quilts – I don’t want to ruin any surprises.
Somerset Holidays & Celebrations
My Halloween Art Quilts were published in the 2012 edition of Somerset Holidays & Celebrations! They do such an amazing job photographing artwork. Pick up an issue – it’s full of inspiration for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas and more!

Gathered Memories and Dreams
This is a big magpie girl quilt for the upcoming quilt show. I used the same blue wallpaper fabric quilted with lots of flowers for the background. There is dot fabric and giant ruffles for the dress. I loved working larger – I can’t wait to try it again and practice photographing larger quilts so […]
