Cancer is a devastating disease that touches all of our lives – there is probably no one out there who hasn’t been affected by it in one way or another, either suffering it in one’s own body or having it touch the life of a loved one.

An Alternative Wedding Ceremony
I know… it’s time. Friends and relatives who were not able to be at Jamie and Carlos’ wedding have clamored for photos. It’s taken me long enough, so let me make up for it with this post.

If animals can do it…
… why can´t we? Live in peace, harmony, and love, I mean. You’ve probably seen it before… when brought up together as babies, different animals do get along together, right?

Machine Embroidery Applique
I LOVE Applique. I love to design applique, and I love to sew applique. And, until lately, pretty much everything I sewed was by hand – freezer paper applique was my favorite.

Three women in power
The new legislative term of the National Assembly began today in Ecuador, with 137 assembly members taking office. Now that in itself isn’t unusual, right? It happens in country after country all over the world.

BOM Update
I thought that moving out to the country and living on my own would automatically mean A LOT of free time. Boy, was I wrong. I still do not seem to be able to find time to do everything I want and NEED to do! 🙁

So I’ve finished the little project from the Fabric Fancification class. Now… the whole purpose of taking a class is to learn something new, right? In all honesty, though, there wasn’t much I didn’t already know and wouldn’t have been able to do by myself, without taking this class.

An embellishment project
One of the things I promised myself when I moved out of town was that with all the “extra” time I would now have I would get a lot more sewing time. Ummm…. that hasn’t quite happened yet, at least not as I expected. But I am moving in that direction now.

A brand new airport

Settled in

I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I love to dye my own fabrics, am a fanatic of free-motion quilting, and dabble with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.
