  • Homemaker Magazine Feature!

    I knew one of my designs was going to be featured in an upcoming issue of the UK’s Homemaker magazine, but I wasn’t really sure how or when. That’s when I was tipped off by fellow textile designer KristopherK that we’re showcased in Homemaker’s current issue (#12) in the 2014 Spoonflower Calendar! *cue the impromptu…

  • Running on Fumes & Scrubby Mitts

    Yup, still. Still running on fumes. Isn’t that what they mean when they say, “NOW we’re cookin’ with gas!!!!”? Because I think that’s what they (whoever *they* are) realllllly mean. Either way, I’m working on various design projects at the moment….a business card here….a company holiday card there….a logo design, a collateral brochure, a stack…

  • Virgin Quilt Market Voyage 2013

    Now that the dust has settled and regular routine is back in order, I thought I had better get on with posting my quickie run-down of my FIRST.EVER. Quilt Market attendance! First, let’s start with this little note I left on the dining table the night before my flight… After my lovely family dropped me…

  • My Personal Halloween Review

    Halloween was SO last week, but I’m still going to post my highlights about it because this Mama worked hard and there needs to be a faint tooting of her rusty horn before we move on to things seemingly current.

  • Procrastination: Part 2

    Yup, one more post about procrastinating when I’m supposed to be readying for Quilt Market. That’s the bad part.  The good part is this post will be short and sweet. I’m going to give you a sneak peek at a couple of my latest Timeless Treasures designs that will be debuting this week at Market,…

  • Procrastination: Part 1

    I told myself I’d prep WAY in advance for Quilt Market. *cue the laugh track* In truth, I did, but the final presentable packaging up of all that creative work is not exactly done yet. I had really wanted to be finished early, so I wouldn’t consume myself with worry and anxiousness up until the…

  • “I Love NY” Pillow Complete!

    Scored some luxe wedding gown silk scraps from a fabric fairy a couple weeks back and decided to play around with piecing it into a design I concocted. Really beautiful stuff to work with. I ended up stitching in the ditch (though, let’s just say I chose the scenic route in parts; meh, so what!?) and…

  • SK in BHG!

    Before we get too far away from the month of September, I thought this was a fun thing to share with you… My “Mexico Springtime” textile design was beautifully featured in the September issue of Better Homes and Gardens, happily modeled by Annette Joseph, stylist, cookbook author and lifestyle expert. Woohoo! Lookin’ good, Annette, and…

  • “Book Worm” Wallpaper on Bethenny

    You might remember that I recently debuted my new “Book Worm" wallpaper line with the fine folks at Chasing Paper… Well, we got a nice feature with Bethenny Frankel this week on her daytime show, Bethenny. Now check out what’s on the table… Woot! Woot! There it is, right there in broad day, er, stage light! Mama’s pride…
