I woke up feeling cold this morning. What wacky weather everyone seems to be having. I couldn’t believe I pulled a long sleeve shirt over my head this morning and still have it on this afternoon. I thought summer was imminent but I guess we have a few more days of cool weather. I’m plugging away…

Happy April! I always loved April Fools Day when I was a kid and loved coming up with believable ways to trick my friends! No tricks in this post though! I just got Stained Glass Stars back from the framer – here it is! Looking forward to finishing Colorwaves, a new colorful design I’ve been…

Welcome Spring!! I’ve never been so glad to see ya! I’m hoping for a long spring – this is my “creative time” when new designs are born and spring into my head. I’m actually working on two different things right now, something which I rarely do. Nothing I can show you yet but here’s my…

I finally can show you a photo of all of Stained Glass Stars! The patterns are off to distributors and shops today! This was a really fun piece and was stitched all with Watercolours except for the background which is an overdyed floss from Threadworx. It finishes at 13×13. I included six additional colorways in…

I’ve had trouble adding photos to my blog and finally figured out a way to work around it and get some added so here we go!  Here are a few photos I’ve recently received from people who’ve done awesome things with some of my Color Delights patterns! First up is Rainbow – Jodi B. added…

Wishing you much love and hope and all the strength, courage, and energy to make 2014 the best year ever. While I enjoyed the holidaying, stitching, and quilting in December, I’m actually looking forward to “getting back to work”.  I’ve just finished stitching (woohoo; I already have a finish for 2014!) a second colorway for…

I’m back from two weeks vacation and have had to drag myself back to the computer to work again. I spent the first week of vacation in Shipshewana, Indiana at the Dear Jane quilt retreat. I missed going last fall so it was especially wonderful to see old friends and meet some delightful new ones…

I’ve been home for a week and am just about caught up! It’s a good thing since I’m leaving again next Sunday! This time I’m going to Shipshewana for a quilting retreat with my mom – we go every year but missed last year because we were in Santa Fe. We’re so looking forward to…

Boots wanted to come but I didn’t pack him! I’m leaving on a jet plane early in the morning and will land in Oakland tomorrow night (my time). I’m gaining two hours going so I’m thinking it will be good stitching time! Friday, I’ll be spending the day oogling threads at Needle in a Haystack and then giving…

I received this photo from Gretchen at Threads, LLC in Charlottesville, VA (http://www.threadsinva.com/) – she took Color Delights “Shamrock” and modified and enlarged the design by repeating it and changing the colors. I think she made it fabulous. She told me they’re also stitching it in a jewel tone colorway and will be offering it as a future…
