  • Holy Smokes, Time to Catch Up!

    Oh boy. It’s been months since my last post. This was by no means my intention, but after the huge rush to get ready for and execute my vision at Fall Quilt Market, I came home and thought, “Oh, I’ll just wind down for a bit and then post about it.”  Um, and then the elections…

    I’ve had an idea in my head for some time now to take a template for a 3D paper shape and see if I can transform it into fabric form to my liking.  Today, I finally got a moment to tinker with this notion and because I’m happy with the results, I thought I’d share…

  • Next Batch O’ Portraits

    I’m still working on a few secret projects, so since there’s nothing new to report in that arena, here’s a quick roundup of my latest fabric portraits… Something that’s rare for me, I actually made two of these gals, both with the same succulent plants but with slightly different purple backgrounds.

  • A Little About QuiltCon 2016

    I flew to Pasadena this weekend to attend QuiltCon 2016 and thought, in my exhausted afterglow haze one day after arriving home, that I should sit down, write something about it and blast that out to the planet, because train wreck’s gonna wreck and who cares about coherency and grammar anyway. First, the Pasadena Convention…
