Last fall I was invited to submit some designs for new fabric from Northcott. Needless to say it was an interesting process but one I learned a lot from, and, after some serious skill development, enjoyed. It’s a little strange designing quilts from zip files, especially for someone who is very tactile and loves to […]
Another beautiful quilt from a really fun stained glass quilting class with a great bunch of ladies! Nice job Connie and I love how you’ve hung it! Your version looks like a lovely, peaceful place that I would love to step in to. We’re going to do some more stained glass quilting on Saturday, […]
Just had to share this amazing quilt from a stained glass quilting class before Christmas-Way to go Carole!
To celebrate the new Northcott line of Shimmer fabric and the fact that they are using one of my designs to help promote it….. I’ve got a couple of kits looking for a home, would you like one?
Finally got the beading done, pictures taken, pattern and diagrams finished. For some reason this one had to sit for awhile.

I have lots of students who are curious about yarns and beading on quilts and have […]

I will be running a promotion to win the pattern and kit to make the quilt, interested? Details will […]

It showcased their new Shimmer fabric and has met with good success. I brought the sample to The Quilting Quarters to show it off before sending away and one of our […]
I’ve been very quiet the last few weeks working on a bunch of new designs, new patterns and a new-look web site. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel! The web site has a different look, and now has PayPal (I’m getting better at this technology stuff). I’m still trying […]
Well, the bag is done, now to finish writing the pattern…… That will have to wait until Tuesday because I am working on two designs for some new Northcott fabric due out soon. It looks like rocks and I am having way too much fun playing with it!
