A little bit of this… a little bit of that…
…Which is pretty much how this whole year seems to have been going. Scattered. That is, me feeling scattered. Not the year. Or?

Still trying to catch up with a ton of work here, which means I’ve had to push blogging back a bit. But I miss it! So here I am popping in to share at least a little bit of what I’ve been up to.

A long, long hand quilting project
I normally set aside one project to work on Thursday mornings when my sewing circle meets, usually a UFO. Sometimes the project chosen takes only one or two morning sessions to complete. Others take longer. And even others take forever.

Recycle your plastic bottles into…. a broom???
You will recall a while back I shared a nifty idea on how to use the neck of a plastic bottle and its bottle cap to create an airtight bag sealer.

A full sewing circle again

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.
