I'm working on another wool appliqué piece right now - the pillow version of my Lorelei pattern. It is a fantastic little project, and I love watching it come together. I decided to use my favorite Essex Linen color for the background and it is so pretty. I think everything is better with some Pickle. … Continue reading Getting Started with Wool Appliqué

You can download … Continue reading Penguin Christmas Stockings
Last week I put the final stitches into my big Kawandi. It was a bittersweet moment, like all finishes are. Bitter because I have been spending time with this piece for almost a year, and I have enjoyed every moment of working on it (except for when I had to hand wash it, because Oscar … Continue reading Making a Large Kawandi Style Quilt

A few months ago my liaison at AccuQuilt showed me one of their upcoming dies - it was a little birdhouse with a bird on it. I am a huge fan of wild birds.

I was hesitant to teach a class in something that is … Continue reading Kawandi Style Quilting
