I got a new toilet, the kids a new playhouse. This was the first quilt I made for Leil. It’s a Lazy Lattice block that I paper pieced. The blocks are set in a funky rotation that made matching the four pieces of the the secondary ‘diamond’ way more complicated than it should have been….
THE best gadget ever to be invented. The self-threading needle. I learned about the existence of these handy little helpers from Lisa Call. Lisa also did a recent post about bringing all her threads to the top of the quilt and then burying them at the end. I used this technique on Marci’s table runner…
Finally! The never-ending school year actually came to a close on Friday. I’m a true homebody. I’m already scheming on buying enough food for a week’s worth of meals so I don’t have to get in my car and go anywhere for days. Just sewing and listening to my kids say ‘Mom, I’m bored!” True…
This is my favorite stamp. I used it to create little thank you tags for pattern orders. It came in one of those cheapo packs at Hobby Lobby, the 10 stamps for only $2.99 variety. A HUGE thank you to all of you that ordered the pattern. Orders received by 2:00 pm have been shipped…

Wow, it feels so GREAT to be able to say that! The pattern is available in my new shop. I’ve wanted to say that for a long time too. More product photos on Flickr. Websites are a lot harder than they look. So are photo shoots, graphic design, Paypal buttons, mailing lists, printing and selling….
The theme for my creativity group’s June meeting. This quote evoked warm and comforting thoughts for me. Nothing I like better than a good storm, a cup of tea and my sewing machine. I often imagine magical things taking place in the woods that sit behind our house. 5 1/2″ x 7 1/2″, commercial and…
Hello class. Today I’m going to be talking about RAW, an image quality setting on a digital SLR. I’m not an expert on any of this. I’ve been doing a lot of web reading and library book reading and wanted to share some techniques that have made my pictures better. I have the Canon entry-level…
