I’m Woikin’ Here
I have been diligently slogging away on my little cosmetics bags. And they are so darn cute! In the photo above, you can see some of my recent finishes that are awaiting their embellishments. I am still not tired of making these. Each one is as much fun as the last. I am out of…

Les Triplettes de Toulouse Reveal~
How happy am I with this Toulouse quilt top? VERY happy. In the words of Ma Ramatswe "I am veddy happy Rrraa". What does the Botswanan detective have to do with anything? Nothing, I just like the way she talks. And, you gotta admit, she seems very happy. Ra. Or Ma. Thelma, Lisa and I found…

Seeing Red
I'm seeing red alright, but in a good way! I found the fabulous border fabric above for my Red and White Snowball quilt challenge. My plan is to add a narrow black containment border, and then a wider border of this pretty red print. Inkwell Prints by Judie Rothermel for Marcus Fabrics. Sophie, my little…
