We were very fortunate this year that our girls both had wonderful teachers for 1st and 2nd grade. Even though there’s nothing I can really do to truly show how much I appreciate what they do for my kids … I can do a little something to show my appreciation. Do you remember the pineapple […]
Birthday Bash in a Flash at the Fat Quarter Shop
I often get asked where I buy my fabric. Everywhere of course! I love my local quilt shops, random garage sales, and of course – online! One of my favorite online shops is the Fat Quarter Shop. The Fat Quarters Shop has a HUGE selection of amazing fabrics and some wonderful deals to be found. […]
BatchGeo Map for Focus Through the Prism Monkey Wrench Challenge
I’ll admit it. I’m not only an artist … but I’m also an engineering. I love stats and random data. And I love excel. I’ve been a stickler during ‘Focus Through the Prism’ to keep track of where everyone who is joining in the fun is from. By doing this … Trisha was able to […]
Patched Lives Quilt Guild Lecture
With school out for summer things have been crazy around here. Not crazy in a bad way, just crazy in a way that I need to figure out my new schedule. I haven’t been finding quite as much time online as I was before school was out but I’ll try to keep in touch at […]

Monkey Wrench Prize Winners
I just realized that I forgot to have winner’s drawn for the ‘Monkey Wrench’ quilt submissions. I have to be honest – it’s absolutely AMAZING that 70 quilts were made for the challenge but I’m just not going to write those all down onto slips of paper for my girls to draw from the hat […]

Each month an aurifil designer shares a mini quilt pattern on the aurifil blog. This quilt – Secret Garden – was designed by John Kubiniec. My mini quilt is a bit wild … but I love it! I used my original spoonflower fabrics to make my garden. All of them are made from pictures I […]
