I don’t like spiders. In fact, I’ve really not liked them since I was 9 and suffered through a bite from a Brown Recluse. I came home from Girl Scout camp with a nasty bite on my arm. I was in a three sided cabin that week and, well, that makes it easy for arachnidsContinue reading “Ada, a Friendly Spider”

Big Big Print Zipper Pouch
This pouch screams TAKE ME TO THE BEACH! Seriously, this bag, cute suit, floppy hat, some kind of fruity drink and I’ll be set. And I don’t even like the beach. I do, however, absolutely adore this color of Kraftex and I’ve been going through a lime/chartreuse/peridot phase for some time now. For a fewContinue reading “Big Big Print Zipper Pouch”
Mini Zipper Pouch
Is this the cutest little pouch or what?! Oh. Em. Gee. It makes me smile. In fact, it’s mean to hold lipstick in my purse (not that I’m going anywhere) but it’s still sitting on a shelf in my sewing room so I can smile when I look at it. I can’t quite bring myselfContinue reading “Mini Zipper Pouch”
Therapy and Metamorphosis
Therapy can show up in different ways. A dinner with friends, a brisk walk, a cup of coffee and a book, an actual therapist, a loaf of warm bread just out of the oven, a hug from someone you love. It’s not one size fits all and it shows up differently for everyone. It shouldContinue reading “Therapy and Metamorphosis”
To the Point
Do you use a planner? I do, and I love my planner. Like, LOVE! I know it’s superrrrr old school but I stay so much more organized when I use it. My system is a little laborious but the end result is always better for me. I have a record of all my ins andContinue reading “To the Point”
Kraft-tex Business Card Holder
Have you heard of Kraft-tex? It’s a really cool substrate that looks, feels and wears like leather but it cuts, sews, and washes like fabric. I recently made an iPad case (I’ll post about that soon), and this morning I whipped out a little business card holder. I’ve needed a business card holder for aContinue reading “Kraft-tex Business Card Holder”
Naming Quilts
I often get name suggestions for quilts from friends. A discussion or comment leads to a great name, and after some contemplation, I realize there is no better name for my quilt. Or a friend is inspiration for a quilt and so named. This is one of those quilts. My friend, we’ll call her T,Continue reading “Naming Quilts”
Tula Pink City Sampler, Block 54
I’m really happy to be participating in the #100Blocks100Days quilt along, and hope you’ve been having a good time working your way through Tula’s City Sampler book (and blocks). Today I get to showcase Block 54, or as I’m calling it Block Studio 54. 🙂 I love this block because it has Flying Geese –Continue reading “Tula Pink City Sampler, Block 54”
Product Review – QuiKraft Spray Glue
My friend, Charlene, recently introduced me to a new spray glue that is coming to the US later this spring. It’s called QuiKraft Tack by Siliconi. I am telling you, people, that you want a bottle of this stuff! Seriously. You will want this as sewing room staple. It’s fantastic, and I will use itContinue reading “Product Review – QuiKraft Spray Glue”
This Girl is Headed to The Quilt Show
My first (and currently only) school house was at Market in fall 2016. I was excited about my presentation, and was sharing the time slot with John Kubiniec. John was speaking about his new book, A New Spin on Drunkard’s Path, and had made some quilts using Alex Anderson’s new line of fabric being releasedContinue reading “This Girl is Headed to The Quilt Show”
