I am obsessed with greys. Ever since this quilt, I have loved adding grey to bright colors – here and in my new bed quilt which I hope to get back from the quilters soon. I didn’t have any greys when I started quilting again a few months ago, and so I am trying toContinue reading “Fabric Fancy: Grey, Grey, Grey, and Grey”

Sublime!!
When working on a project, I spend half my time thinking about the recipient loving the gift. So I am full of joy to get this picture of this beautiful little girl smiling on top of the quilt I made for her. Happy happy joy joy, indeed.
Thursday Therapy
I bought this lovely book with a gift card I received for Christmas. It really has lots of wonderful patterns in it – and I have been thinking about working on a sampler quilt to build my skill.

They are made using plastic dinosaurs and an outdoorContinue reading “Commissions in Gray”

Welcome!

I have a mid-to-high pressure corporate job which I almost-always love, but it does drive me to patchwork – so most weeknights you will find me hunkered down at the cutting mat and machine. 2.Continue reading “Welcome!”
