Autumn Mums was one of my most popular patterns. I thought all the copies were sold, but recently when I was cleaning I came across several of this popular pattern and I have relisted it here on the website. Get your copy before they are all gone!
Spring is coming
Spring is coming. My Daffodils up against the house are blooming and crocuses are up in the front yard.The red male Cardinals are in the trees trilling out a spring song looking for their mate. Now is a perfect time to make your own Cardinal quilt to hang on the wall and cheer you on.…
Quilted placemats
I like making little projects along with all the big projects I do. It’s very satisfying to finish something in a short amount of time. These place mats are made with my hand dyed fabrics, using the Fancy Forest pattern from Elizabeth Hartman. I was a little hesitant to start this pattern because of all…
Flat seams
I often press my 1/4″ seams open. I find this lets my pieces lay flatter in the end. It can be a bit more difficult sometimes to get the seam open and flat, but the end results are much cleaner and nicer. My wool pressing mat from Wooly Felted Wonders really makes this easy and convenient, as…
Process of piecing rows on my 1″ square triangle blocks
Piecing together this project is made easy with the help of my handy moveable design board. It allows me to have it sitting right behind my sewing machine chair for easy access. I made this design board from a flattened cardboard box with a crib size batting wrapped around the box and then taped to…
1″ triangle blocks
I’ve been working on this “scrap” project for awhile. These 1 1/2″ triangle units, that finish out at 1″, are made from left over fabrics from other projects. The big “blocks” take me at least 2 hours to lay out on my improvised design board, and then depending on my other sewing activities at the…
Out on a Limb
I just finished a new art quilt – OUT ON A LIMB 21″ x 21″. This calming piece utilizes the freezer paper template technique that I like to use to achieve wonderful curved lines, and is machine pieced and machine quilted with my hand dyed cotton fabric. Soft winter tones of grey, green and brown…
Lone Tree
I hope you will become a quilt collector, I am. When I go to big quilt shows and they offer quilts for sale I always try to purchase something by artist I admire. This little quilt; LONE TREE, was just added to my website in sale items under small quilts. It would make a wonderful…

IQA Spring Journal 2020
I know all of us are ready to get out of the house and enjoy each others company again. But we can’t do that yet. Here is something to entertain you while you shelter at home. I am so thrilled to be a featured artist in this spring issue of the IQA Spring Journal. If…

Enter the code Stayhome to get the discount! I am discounting my on-line store and need to find homes for all the patterns I have left. Please buy many and tell your friends. Like most of the quilters traveling and teaching, my teaching schedule has been suspended until further notice. Bummer. On the bright side since…
