Crocheted napkin holders
I am now approaching 100% Christmas mode (as I sit hear listening to Josh Groban’s Noel album… full blast). And I haven’t even started decorating the house.

So from the 16th on, I expect we will all be in full Christmas mode. 🙂 Read More

Little snow globe patterns
I’m still on a designing roll. 🙂 And I know there isn’t much time for lengthy quilting projects this close to Christmas, but I think we can still squeeze some small ones in… I can’t help but think how much fun it is to decorate the house with small, whimsical decorations. Read More

Fabric origami star
One of the fun things about this time of year is seeing how other people are creatively inspired. And although I cannot spend as much time blog hopping as I would like, I do make it a point to spend a few minutes every day (okay, half an hour!) checking out creative Christmas crafts. Read More

Thirty Fun Stocking Stuffers
My icon for today is a little Japanese girl, who apparently seems to be juggling. What can that have to do with stocking stuffers? Quite a bit, actually, because this little girl is playing Otedama, a traditional Japanese juggling game. And one of my suggestions for a stocking stuffer is precisely some of the ojami used for this game. Read More

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.
