Floressence Fabric Feature
I may have a bit of a fabric stash. I’m going to start sharing with some pictures of fabrics I’ve acquired and tell you what caught my eye about them that I thought they should be added to my stash. I rarely buy fabric with a project in mind and I do my best to […]
Elephant in the Middle Quilt
The actual title of this quilt is “Monkey Elephant in the Middle” but they wouldn’t let me put strikethrough text in my title.

Gypsy Wife Quilt–Scrappy Quilt Entry
And for my second quilt entry to the Blogger’s Quilt Festival I’ve decided to go with my Gypsy Wife Quilt in the Scrappy Quilt Category. A good friend of mine actually sent me this pattern for my birthday and it wasn’t long after that I got started on it. I made this scrappy quilt from […]
Fen Koan–Original Quilt Entry
