Dear friends, it certainly has been a long, long time since I last posted, and I am truly happy to reconnect with you after a long hiatus and share a heartfelt quilt project that holds a special place in my heart.

Oh, boy, oh boy… am I ever late in posting!
More than a full year has gone by without me updating this blog… at all!

A scrappy lap quilt
Last week, while dusting/cleaning my sewing studio, I came across a bag that apparently went through three different moves from one house to another without ever being opened up and unpacked.

Scandinavian Flowers
A new year… In looking back at what I was able to accomplish during 2019, I am happy. It seems I never have enough time to do all I would like to, but last year I came close.

A panel quilt
A gazillion years ago I purchased a whole bunch of fabric panels on a super sale. Fast forward to today… and I still haven’t done anything with any of those panels.

Polka Dot Quilt
This has been a busy, busy year so far. And I haven’t been able to do as much sewing as I would have liked to. Which is about to change, as I begin to concentrate on making Christmas gifts.

Another project finished: Sister’s Choice
My second oldest UFO. Finally finished this year. This quilt was thought up about 15 years ago, and initially was supposed to be a gift.

Done, done, DONE!
And this is the last I hope (ever) to write about this. It’s embarrassing that it’s taken me so long. So much so, I actually had lost track of when I began it.

Decisions, decisions…
I know, I know, I know! If you’ve been following me for a while (the last eight years?), you’ve hear about this more than once.

A finished project
I didn’t really get a lot of sewing done during all of 2017. I’m hoping that will change this year. Having (finally) organized my new sewing studio will certainly help… I feel more motivated to start new projects.

The First Hexie Flower
It’s been well over a month, and that’s how long it’s taken me to piece the 37 hexies that make up one of the five large flowers in my Not My Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt.

Even more complex hexies
After my last post I recalled I have worked with a slightly different concept for pieced hexies before. Actually, they are even more complex than those Mickey Depre teaches in her Pieced Hexies class on Craftsy.

In the hoop again
Ok, so you’ve seen this project before. I know… more than once. 🙁 I’m talking about my oldest UFO, which in May will turn 10 years old.

I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I am learning how to dye my own fabrics and am dabbling 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.
