New Life, New Quilt

As I write this, I am reflecting on the past year. You are probably wondering where the heck I've been. And that is valid. I have been somewhat off the radar.
Just over a year ago, I left my marriage of 21 years. With both the kids grown and out of high school, It was time. And it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. But it has taken me this long to get it back together and get back to work. Adjustments are hard on the creative mind.
In October I had major surgery. It was the second best thing I have ever done for myself. You women out there can probably guess what I had done. Whew! Glad that's over. lol


So, now that I have most of my studio moved to my new home in the city, I have started working again. It's wonderful to be creative and busy. I have missed it.



Above are snippets of the new quilt I'm working on. This is gonna be a fun one for those of you who like to do you own thing. Lots of freedom. Stay tuned...

Alright, Already!

Well, it's ready. It's done. It's all yours. I think this one turned out especially nice. Home Town Holiday contains directions for a table runner, wall hanging and a throw. It uses the Tri Recs tool set which makes it easy. And you know me - I don't write difficult patterns because I don't want to teach difficult patterns! As always, the pattern has full color diagrams, ALL pressing directions and measurements at each step.

So, let me know what ya think. And if this is too late for your holidays this year, next year will be here before you know it!!

Retreat At The Harbor Star

I just returned from a fabulous weekend in East Tawas, Michigan. Six of us spent the weekend at the Harbor Star making table runners and wall hangings from my new pattern HOME TOWN HOLIDAY.

Jan B. and Lana Q. (front row) and Val O. and Suzie S. are pictured above with their quilts. Linda D. had to leave early. Since they are all still smiling, I think they had a good time.
Look for the new pattern on the website by Friday!
