Today was spent cutting strips and squares, string piecing, pressing and more cutting until I got tired. It was a fun day! The sound of her sewing machine was music to her soul (9†x 12â€)

Dreams to Remember
It rained and more is predicted! I was excited to see a few umbrellas and rain boots and just to know that the dust won’t be blowing around in the wind when it’s wet. I’m apparently easily excited! She dreams to remember (9†x 12â€)
Reader Creativity
I love seeing quilters, artists and crafters creating pieces inspired by my patterns and creations. Sharon created this parachute art quilt from a photo of her friend – complete with mountain in the background and a motivational saying: “she soars past all obstacles in her pathâ€. Sharon didn’t stop at just one quilt, she adapted […]
Ready for Fun

Time to Play
Any day where I get to sew – even if for only 5-10 minutes is wonderful. Today there was fabric and supplies all over the house – add to it a lot of creative fun and laughter – it was a perfect day. Make time to play (5.5†x 9â€)

It’s been warm and sunny lately – it’s so nice and a great reason to wear a fun dress or skirt and just enjoy the early summer weather. She is happy (6†x 12â€)
