Wayne Kollinger has invited us to reflect on this question and write a post about it today. In my case I really have to address this question in two parts.

Are you an EQ Junkie?
And –like me– do you absolutely love coffee? First thing in the morning, with desert at noon, and even late at night?

BOM Sneak Peek
We’re ready. During November and December I’ve been drawing and drawing. And over the last couple of weeks I’ve been organizing all those designs into what will be our 2011 BOM projects.

Someone stop me!
I don’t know what’s happening to me. I’m feeling wired, and am having a hard time sleeping. So I’m sewing up a storm, and in between I’m drawing. Talk about nervous energy!

On a drawing roll
Someone asked a little while back if I would be sharing a sneak peek at any time of the BOM projects we are planning for 2011. And while I prefer to keep the expectations high, sometimes I just can’t help myself. 🙂

Ballerina craze
Ok, so something you should know about me is that it’s a little dangerous to ask me for a “special” design. Why? Because I get carried away and don’t always know when to STOP! One of our members asked me for a ballerina design a few weeks ago. I have just now gotten around to […]

Between a little sewing, a little drawing, some paperwork and some housekeeping, I have managed to organize nearly my entire fabric stash. Not ready to post about it yet, though, because I need to resolve the issue of some containers for one of the shelves.

A shocking confession?
Several years ago, when I first started quilting and discovered paper-piecing, I nearly became addicted to this technique. I loved the speed and the fact that it was a way to use up itty bitty scraps of fabric. Between then and now I don’t know what happened, nor where my aversion to this technique began. […]

Mama’s Sayings
Once again, even the best-laid plans can go awry unexpectedly. I had every intention of finishing the quilting on my Sister’s Choice quilt last week. Then Thursday I woke up to a terrible cold. I hadn’t been sick in years and now all of a sudden I fall ill twice in one month!

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.
