Hi everybody! I know I’ve been quiet here; lots going on, all good stuff, but I haven’t posted in months. I write with news! First, pushing a 55” square FPP project through a Crescendo while trying to quilt with monofilament is demoralizing. So many thread breaks-I had to stop and think about how in the…

I don’t know what happened but this post never uploaded and has been caught in draft status for months without my realizing it. Here it is; better late than never? Greetings everyone! Are you ready for a fresh new year? I hope you’re all looking forward to good things and new creative adventures; I certainly…

I’ve been able to steal some time away from chores this week, unlike last week which was a near complete loss! I’be made some progress but still have plenty to do. Wish me luck!

Greetings! I managed to get some good sewing time in this weekend and I hope you did too! My start has been slow because I’m pressing the yardage as different colors are indicated on the units I’m piecing but soon I will have pressed them all so there will be more time sewing and the…

Greetings! I hope everyone had a great holiday and managed to sneak in some time to sew! I had lots of stuff going on but had fun all the way through. By now you know I love making cards. Christmas, general winter, and even some spring/summer cards are in the mix. Have a look! I…

Greetings fellow sewing enthusiasts! I bet a bunch of you are elbow deep in holiday gifts; I finished early this year and am excited (and a bit trepidacious) about beginning the foundation paper piecing opus that is The Matriarch by Verushka Zarate. If you aren’t familiar with Zarate’s patterns you’re really missing out. She is…

If you’ve been following along you know I love sewing on card stock to make fun cards, and what holiday is more fun than Halloween? None! My cards are in the hands of my recipients now so no surprises will be spoiled; I’ll share my designs and my handy helper, Diablo the laser. Here is…

If you don’t know me and my husband as a couple, you aren’t familiar with our household dynamic. Artsy English major + brilliant rocket scientist = comedy. After 17 years of marriage he still cracks me up with his matter of fact, professorial responses. Today I learned about Pythagoras…I know I blocked that in tenth…

I have fallen in love with creating quilted greeting cards. I mean, who doesn’t love a little quilty goodness? It all started several years ago when the isolation of the pandemic began to impact my extroverted friends the hardest. Most of the people I know live out of state and I wanted a way to…

I didn’t complete any sewing projects this weekend. We (hubby and I) spent a lot of time with the laser. For a little history, my husband is an aerospace engineer with an undergrad in electrical engineering. He can do most anything that can be done with two hands and superior spatial reasoning. He built a…

My intention with this blog is to post the projects I’m currently working on and to create a gallery of previous projects. You’ll see if you follow me that I’m interested in a lot of different kinds of sewing but with a primary focus on textile art/art quilts. My one in 7 billion Baby Lock…
