A New Interest
Can you guess what it is? Embroidery! Last week I visited a quilting event where there were numerous vendors. One of the booths where I found myself lingering was called Bird Brain Designs.

Maison de Garance
Have you gotten yours yet? This fabric collection, Maison de Garance is just so pretty. It is designed by French General for Moda, and I own an entire fat quarter bundle of it! No idea what I will make of it, but I do know that it "goes" with a lot of other things in…

Asthma
Sorry I am a bit late with my post this morning. Ugh. I have been suffering the symptoms of a chronic condition I suffer from–asthma. I don't know if it is the change in our weather, some allergen in the air, or just me, but I sure have been wheezy. During the day I get…

Purple
I am so in the mood to make a purple quilt. I think every five to ten years a person needs to explore the purple side of their personality. I have made several purple quilts in my life, and I love them all dearly. If you haven't embraced purple, you surely must consider it. Here…
