Brain Dump: Stitch the Scary Stuff in Your Brain
So here's a bit o'progress on one sample for the aforementioned class (title). Opening the drawers of the thread chest and grabbing as many different reds as I could find to begin stitching. The cool this is after collecting thread for a few years I have a multitude of reds to choose from. Then again… Continue reading Brain Dump: Stitch the Scary Stuff in Your Brain

I’ve gone and done it now
I've added a Retreat to the list of classes. I've wanted to add a retreat for a very long time, now seemed as good a time as any. A three or five day retreat to explore the world of thread, batting, design, and color. Find the eclecticness of you, the freedom to explore and push… Continue reading I’ve gone and done it now

Character and confidence work hand in hand, they build each other, and with that. when we show up to do the work our creativity increases. All of this takes practice. I've struggled with confidence… Continue reading Character & Confidence

Did you ever?

While it's hard to see another quilt shop close, leaving a huge hole in the NY Quilting Landscape, I'm… Continue reading Did you ever?

Doing the (prep) Work, the next part
At some point in my quilting journey I knew that teaching was a next step. How did I know? Well, another quilter asked me one day, "Teri, when are you going to start teaching?" Well, I guess . . soon. It took me a bit, but I figured out that I wanted to teach machine… Continue reading Doing the (prep) Work, the next part

Retreat
I remember looking up from the window in my quilt studio, grabbing the camera and taking a series of photos of this particular sunset. There is something about the color that intrigues me in an "I want to spend more time here" way. The beauty of this particular moment sustains, refreshes, and renews. I love… Continue reading Retreat

Guest Blogger: Sara Snuggerud – Do Sergers Scare You?
I met Sara a couple of years ago at BERNINA University. In between classes Sara shot video and interviewed a variety of VIP's (very interesting people) for her YouTube channel (see links below). What I didn't know, and have high regard for, is her serger prowess. Having learned how to, and taught serger threading I'm in… Continue reading Guest Blogger: Sara Snuggerud – Do Sergers Scare You?

For months and months I've been thinking about my home office. Remember this post? I talked about the colors for that space. Well, this girls, dream is coming true!
