I turn 45 tomorrow! To celebrate my birthday I’m combining my love of creating and my desire to make room for new magic.  What does that mean for you?  A sale and a free workshop. I posted an 8 part video workshop to create a Magpie Girl Art Quilt to my YouTube channel.  Now’s a great time to watch […]
