This has been me for the last few weeks – stitching like crazy. Journals and quilts. Sometimes the sewing machine is switched to a computer as I type up articles, design flyers and layout photos for fabric prints. Quilting is her happy (9†x 12â€) Despite the crazy making feeling as I dash toward deadlines, […]

Wedding Gift
My friends are getting married and as usual I created a quilt as their gift. They asked if the quilt might be used as the backdrop for the ceremony so I got busy planning, cutting and stitching. It incorporates their colors including gold which was a subtle pattern in most of the neutrals. It’s backed […]
Zipper Pouches
I’ve been experimenting with prints of my art on fabric. Some are great for framing, but others are too small or extra copies. So I grabbed a handful of zippers and made some pouches. On one side is art, the other a coordinating fabric. And the inside is lined too.
Alaska Adventures
Our friends are adorably cute together. This quilt reminds me of their visit. I may have to make another one where the girl has shorter hair to give to them. They enjoy Alaska adventures (9†x 13â€)
Around Here Lately
A week with friends visiting Alaska was seriously fun and just the break I needed. We hiked around lakes, biked around town, rode a tram up a mountain for a yummy lunch and of course took the always amazing wildlife cruise to see glaciers, whales, puffins and more. Despite massive amounts of sunscreen, I sunburned […]
Bike Happy
I’m going to ride happy into a week of time off. On the agenda: fun with friends visiting from the lower 48 and some stitching to meet a deadline. Bike Happy – Aqua Bike (12†x 15â€)
Find Her Way
Red hair, blue shirt, white-ish background – this is as close to patriotic as I get. Hope those in the USA had a great holiday. We celebrated with movies, yummy food and cleaning/setting up the house before house guests arrive while the cats hid from firecrackers and the vacuum. Finding her way (11†x 12â€) […]
Love Fills Her Heart
Sometimes I try very hard to add an extra layer of fabric under a girl’s dress so the background doesn’t show through, but the subtle pattern from the background is pretty here. This color combination brings me back to high school when a sales lady in a department store convinced me and my mom that […]
Joy Cannot Be Contained
I’ve been smitten with the new forget-me-not florals in the shop lately. They make such fun dresses on my quilts. Her joy cannot be contained (13†x 17â€)
