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. 🙂

Christmas Projects: Sneak Peek
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where ideas flow so quickly it actually becomes hard to focus and stick to one project and one project alone? Yeah. Well that’s what’s been happening to me this week.

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 […]

Cold, cold, cold day and some sneak peeks
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.

EQ7 is on the way!
The news is out! The Electric Quilt Company will soon be launching (early June) version 7 of its quilt design software. As you know, this is the software I use to design my patterns. I had a hard time even trying to imagine how it could bet any better than version 6, but as usual, […]

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!

A morning of sewing
I don’t normally have much time to sew so many of the projects I design. But every now and then I just can’t resist. So this morning I spent sewing this miniature table runner I designed yesterday afternoon. I should have been working on writing up the pattern, so that will have to wait ’til […]

Woe is me!
I woke up early and in a good mood. The last three nights it has rained steadily, and I enjoy sleeping with the sound of rain. It is nice, however, when there’s sunshine to get up to in the morning. And even though it was really early, I could tell it was going to be […]

A week of creative doodling
There’s never any one factor to explain how or why I come up with different design ideas. Sometimes, like this week, it is just because the rain keeps me indoors and, therefore, spending a lot of time on the computer. And, very often, ideas come to me in dreams. Does that happen to you?

Sneak Peek
I am so excited about next year. We have not one, or two, but several BOM projects planned for 2009! Actually, more like Project of the Month. In some cases even project of the week.

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.
