Reader Creativity
I love seeing quilters and crafters creating pieces inspired by my patterns and creations. Nancie created a tote bag. Here girls is wearing a gold necklace she created with metallic thread. I adore the sweet face on the girl. Sara spent an afternoon at my house learning and playing with fabric to create the above […]
Quilt with Prints
For months I’ve been meaning to create a little quilt with prints of my quilts. It’s a gift for my niece who turns 3 in a few weeks. She loved the actual cupcake girl quilt when she saw it earlier this year, so that print takes center stage on one side. I added two shades […]
Happy Thanks Autumn
This is the next quilt in the year of quilts for our friends. We opted to embrace autumn colors instead of a purely Thanksgiving theme. My husband found the animal panel and it was too cute to resist. The back has various prints including some owls. Happy Thanks Autumn (50†x 60â€)

Fractured Spring Light
I decided to participate in the Quiltcon Michael Miller Spring Cotton Couture challenge. We could only use solids for the top and Michael Miller prints could be used on the back and binding. After a month of staring at the spring solids, I finally decided to pair them with gray and white. I cut 1.5 […]

Paper Collages – 4
Dare to rip up paper and junk mail and stitch it to paper – it won’t break your sewing machine – it will dull a needle. I have a box of dull needles – when I don’t want to use them with fabric anymore, I put them in the box and use them for stitching […]
