Boy, this has been a busy week, getting files prepared for posting and images all in order. As a reward (that’s how I see it), my *baby* brother is in town for a visit. Which was one of the reasons why I wanted all my patterns for this month finished and ready to go, so […]

A little summer break
I’ve got jingle bells ringing through my head, even as I sleep! Time to remember the actual time of year. I’m not headed to the beach (yet), but am enjoying the warmer weather.

Mid-year is right around the corner!
And that means that Christmas in July is quickly sneaking up on me. Which explains my relative silence here over the past few days… I am madly drawing and patterning. (Is that a word?)

Vintage Keys
As you know, I draw a lot. I draw so much, there is no way I could sew all the quilts I design. I’ve been doing this long enough that I now just know when a pattern works, and when it needs tweaking before publishing it on our website.

Enough with the sweets!
I finally finished a new block library for EQ users. I had drawn quite a few “sweet” blocks last year, but not near enough to build a library.

Calorie free treats
Cooking is not my number one favorite thing to do. I would rather bake, but even that seems to happen only around Christmas time. Yet for the last couple of days I’ve been doing my own version of baking. And I’ve just pulled out some yummy cupcakes and cakes from my oven. 🙂

In a drawing frenzy
There are periods where it seems all I do – day and night – is draw, draw, draw. Ideas come to me, and I feel compelled to get them all drawn before I forget them. This is one of those weeks.

Open for business!
Thanks to my amazing techie (son Jared), our new pattern shop has gone live… two weeks earlier than planned! He has been amazingly patient in setting this up and helping me to learn a new system. So we’re ready to go!

1135
Rather an odd number, I know. And no, it isn’t my house number. Neither does it belong to my P.O. box. It isn’t a pin number or a password. In fact, until now I hadn’t associated it with anything in particular, so it is a number I could easily forget. That is, until my techie […]

April Showers
Yep. It’s raining. Again. More like flooding. And I have to go out in a little bit. Not a happy thought.

Brrr… it’s cold!
It seems like the last three months around here it’s done nothing but rain. A couple of weeks ago we got high hopes that warmer weather was on its way, but no such thing. Day in and day out it just pours. Over the weekend there was such a downpour that several parts of the […]

To quilt or to applique?
I’m thinking it’s best to get moving on my UFO projects, while I have them on my mind and am motivated to get them finished. And I could use a little feedback here!

Four new mug rugs
This week has been a busy one. And fulfilling. Because in spite of the “busyness” there has still been time to sew… and to draw!

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.
