Quilt retreat is coming!

In two days I’ll be on my way to Quilt Retreat in rural DeWitt, Iowa, for four days of quilting, eating and sleeping. That’s it. There’s no laundry to do, dogs to let out, kitchens to paint.

Sewing room reveal

It took a week-and-a-half, but I finally managed to clean out my sewing room. It could still stand to be de-cluttered a little more, and I still need more storage, but at least I can work in it now and it can be used as a guest bedroom when company stays over. The green on […]

Triangle Bootcamp1

Triangle Boot Camp

I’ve started a new quilt, that I designed for a class I’m teaching in June called Triangle Boot Camp.
