Hoops and Loops – A New Series of Earrings
I don’t know what’s gotten into me lately but I’ve been really into doing ‘series’ of things. I fall in love with the first one I make and want to do more…maybe a little differently but another one. You’ve maybe noticed this with my ‘Spring Flowers’ Quilt Series – so far I have three…the original, […]
Treasury Saturday – March 14th
Happy Saturday everyone! My cold is still here but I am much better than last week! I wanted to share with you, once again, some treasuries I made and some I have been featured in. Unfortunately, one of my treasuries expired before I ‘print screened’ it and I won’t be able to share it with […]

My Squarey Quilt
Today I’m going to talk a little bit about my “Squarey Quilt” (actual pattern name is ‘Window Panes’ but I’ve always called it my squarey quilt). I RARELY keep things for myself. Initially I was going to make this quilt for my brother (sorry Brian) but I just fell in love with it and had […]
