I’m on Craftsy

I discovered Craftsy this week. It’s glorious. You can find patterns from independent designers like myself for quilting, knitting, jewelry and more. So naturally I created a shop for my patterns.

Monkey crib quilt

I should have had my quilt judged

I love “Hangin’ Around.” I designed the pattern, pieced, appliqued and quilted it myself. I am very proud of my work. But I didn’t have it judged in the Great River Quilt show, hosted by my guild the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild. I just entered it for display because of the quilting in the final […]

Snowball quilt block

Making snowballs in a heat wave

Last week the temperature was in the 90s all week where I live in the Midwest. It was the kind of week where you’d take two showers a day and still need another if you walked outside to grab the mail. So I stayed inside, crossed my fingers that the A/C would do its job […]
