Sew Cute Tuesday
Happy Tuesday, folks! I had a very productive Saturday, getting some quilting and piecing done. And that’s been about it for sewing this week! I’m enjoying spending so much time with my mother-in-law, which means lots of coffee trips. Ahhh, it’s the hard life 😉 Although reality is setting in quickly now, as we finally […]
In The Studio 01
The bits and pieces I’ve been making, creating, reading, and doing – stitchy or otherwise. Back in the day, (or as my kids used to say, “Back in the ages”!) I used to write fairly in-depth newsletters, sharing more “behind the scenes” bits and pieces, things I’ve been reading or buying or making or admiring. […]

Doe, Architextures, Carkai… they all mix so well. I just love how she incorporates a fantastic range of shades […]

Saying Sayonara with Handmade Thanks
This past week has been a hard one, full of farewells. And with these precious farewells, comes gifts. Gifts to say thank you, to express deep gratitude for the friendships, support, for patience with bumbling foreigners… Many were handmade, stocked up over the past few months, recently finished, or pushed through this week! My grammar […]
