Poppers!

Poppers is a bright, fun to stitch project with 192 little squares. Although the layout is the same as Tidbits, all of the square patterns are different. I just love creating small designs and then putting them together like patchwork! The pattern will be released at the Nashville market.

I’ve had a busy summer and fall with lots of activies, traveling, teaching, nursing a friend through several surgeries, etc. I’ve also been dealing with chronic jaw pain since July. I’ve…

Tidbits

Tidbits is done and at the printer! This was really fun to stitch and a bit of a design challenge for me to create so many different patterns to fit such small squares! I like it long and narrow but it would also be fun short and wide, especially for a pillow. Tidbits is on…
