What’s in Your Ears?
Music is so fun. Weird fact: I didn't listen to pop music, watch mtv, or go to the movies as a teenager. It's a long story for another blog entirely. So now, when something fun comes up I like it and add it as a station on Pandora or find a YouTube… Continue reading What’s in Your Ears?

Character: explored beauty
Melanie Testa is by far one of the most joyful, and thoughtful quilters I've ever met. A beautiful, creative soul. One of my most treasured memories is having lunch with her and Elizabeth, we were on the receiving end of some seriously disapproving looks from because we were laughing so much. This still brings a… Continue reading Character: explored beauty

Yesterday I was asked (on facebook) - I thought I'd share here That cross hatch (it's kinda wonky here but this isn't a competition piece so I'm okay with that) is simply marked on the cloth using a Generals Chalk Pencil and an Omni-Grid Ruler. I placed… Continue reading Chocolate Swirl part 2

Creative play
Yesterday I spent most of the day working on two different projects in the quilt room. Both projects require a lot of attention to detail and are on hard time lines. I love deadlines, they make it so much easier to work. At a certain point in the day I needed to stop & play… Continue reading Creative play
