After a gorgeous week of Spring weather and sunny days we awoke to 2 inches of snow yesterday morning. Very weird. After a flurry of morning e-mails debating about whether to go or not I got in the car and took off. I had a ticket to Sandra Betzina’s zipper session and I wasn’t going [...]

Bushfire Quilt Project
My heart goes out to all of those impacted by the Australian bushfires. Recovery from the devastation is sure to be a long and difficult path for those that have experienced so much loss. It makes my heart ache.
Our family home was lost to fire when I was 10 years old. My mother was in [...]

Nancy created this doll for me as part of the Out of the Box Portrait Challenge for our Feb ‘09 group meeting (see my project for Gladys here). I knew it was me when I saw the colored pencils! Wow, she did such an incredible job. Thread to make the curly hair and and that [...]
Portrait Quilt – Gladys
In January my Out of the Box group drew names for a swap project. Assignment: Portraits.
Wednesday night we spread the projects out on a table to see if we could guess who was who. Each ended up being recognized by the person they were made for.

Link Love
A few links to keep you busy while I finish my sales tax return which the FABULOUS State of Washington gave me a 4 day extension to complete (on the phone no less!):
