A Fairy and a Dutch Rose
Last year I came up with a block tutorial for a large Dutch Rose Block. I decided to make another one the other day. I am in love with the fairy in the center of the star! I also just love what the floral stripe is doing on the outer edges too. This really makes […]
A Cross Stitched Gnome
Our neighbor girl who has been babysitting for us practically since Cedi (our oldest) was born graduated from High School this year. She’s a wonderful kid and I know she has big things in her future. We’re super excited for her but we are all going to miss her terribly! She loves gnomes and she’s […]
Soul’s Blossom–Project QUILTING June Challenge

Pineapple Mini Quilts and the Last Day of School

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 […]
