She Finds Fun
I’m looking forward to some large chunks of time in my studio this week. I’ve been busy designing new quilts and fusing the backgrounds together. Now it’s time for stitching – my favorite part of the process. I can enjoy the whirl of my sewing machine as I draw with rainbow of threads to create […]
Learns from Her Mistakes

For the next 3 days, I will be locking myself in my studio. Creative adventures await me. I’m itching to rip fabric, stitch badly (at least at first) and make an even bigger mess. Adventures awaits (5.5†x 9â€) Note: This piece has been done for months and I just now noticed the typo. I […]
