For my quilting friends further afield: I am delighted to share with you that I have a variety of quilting classes coming up, locally and further afield! The really fun news I can finally share, is that I will be teaching classes on both the longarm and domestic this spring at AQS Quilt Week in […]
I love sitting in this window. Dappled morning light, bright sunshine most of the day, and windows on all sides with a breeze drifting through. I make up projects and excuses to work on projects here, so I can be there all day. It’s funny what we do sometimes, to justify our behavior. What if we just said “I like this, I’m doing it, and that’s the end of that”?

Thread Dread: Removing Trapped Thread From Your Quilt Top
I am participating in the Back to School Blog Hop hosted by Sam Hunter of Hunter’s Design Studio. The lineup of quilters (32 of them!) is really fantastic, and the topics cover a huge range of material. Enjoy! We’ve all had this happen. The top is prepped, it’s sandwiched, the quilting has been started… and […]
Folk Art Fantasy, and a Gift in Three Parts
When I was growing up, my mom always told me fairy tales, either of her own devising or the more “usual”. Even as a kid, I knew she was like Anne of Green Gables: her mind was (and is) a place for delightful imaginings and stories. When my friend Amanda Murphy asked me if I […]
Trimming Your Quilt with Tools from the Hardware Store
This post does not contain affiliate links. Despite our best efforts–or perhaps because of them if we’re improv piecing!–our quilts are not always square. This happened to me recently as I was working on a quilt from scratch. I was not paying attention and miscalculated a few blocks, so there were some dangling bits and […]

Sewing Studio Voyeurism but in a Good Way!
It’s that time of year again! Cheryl Sleboda is once again hosting Spring Clean Your Studio 2017! I am participating this year as motivation to get my new studio in order before an Official Grand Opening (and if that isn’t a little exciting and scary, I don’t know what is!) I’ve been working in the new […]
Full Bloom
Spring is coming! At the end of a long, cold winter, the promise of Spring is tantalizing, isn’t it? The winter encourages us to feel dormant, hibernate, retreat. Winter is a good time to take stock of what nourishes the soul! This winter, I thought, what is it that nourishes me? Making my own quilts […]
Looking Forward (and Back) to Quilting

If you’ve found your way here through the BERNINA Ambassador blog hop, please you take a look around! I have tutorials and techniques over here, and my course offerings are here. I was taking […]
