In conjunction with the Summertime Samplers, I’m showcasing some options for things you can do with the patterns other than just the quilts that are in the booklet, and offering some bonus patterns along the way — this is another one for you. I wanted to have this ready in early June; you know, Father’s […]

You know something’s not right when it’s 100 degrees out, and you feel the need to wear a sweatshirt and long pants! I’m on […]

There’s so much I need to do, and I don’t feel like doing any of it. I’ve barely even set foot in my sewing room. […]

We still had mostly horrible weather, but did have a few good days. Oddly, the warmer it got outside, the colder I felt inside — I think winter got into my bones this […]

So it’s still on my to-do list, and I hope to get to it soon, but here it is already time for another Studio Organizing Challenge! While I do intend to keep trying to […]
