After piecing the Wonky Tree Baby Quilt I made for my cousin’s new baby, I used the scraps to make a pillow they could use on the rocker in the baby’s bedroom. I used the graduation of blue to green to make one big, stripey, wonky tree. I then used this pieces as the last… Continue Reading
Wahoo! I finally got the pictures of the Wonky Tree Baby Quilt processed! I made this for my cousin Matt and his wife Dreya’s new baby Maia! This is an improvisationally pieced quilt made in the same manner as my first Wonky Tree quilt. Of course, it’s made with my hand dyed fabrics. Dreya told… Continue Reading
I received a couple of pictures from my Autie Robin the other day. I made a king sized duvet cover back in 1990 for them, I pieced an Ocean Waves in blue and red calicos, backed it in muslin and then added another backing layer that buttons closed at the foot. I’m pretty sure they… Continue Reading

He’s never been away from home without family, except for a couple of science camps in middle school, and in that class his whole entire class along with their science teacher were there. He and I were a BOTH bit apprehensive, but felt better after meeting… Continue Reading
Last week was…Overwhelming. Amazing. Stressful. Awesome. Exhausting. Pride-enducing. Blog-writing-negation! I knew it was gonna be crazy, but I had no idea how much!

So many amazing performances played… Continue Reading
