UPDATE NOTE (Dec. 5): The last set of instructions in this post was missing a set of photos – as kindly pointed out to me by Diana in comments -thanks Diana!

Good morning – it’s weekend! Let’s sew something! 🙂 Today, it will be an easy, strip-pieced table runner The beauty of this one is that it can be made for any season or occasion, depending on what colors you choose and it really is easy enough to do, even for a beginner!Fabric choices and yardage: […]
Oh my – Day 2 and I am already late!! SORRY! Morning got really busy and stupid cold kept me up last night, but there is good news – I finally realized that I can make a blog entry and “schedule” its publishing…meaning I can do this in advance and make sure I am on […]

This morning I found out that my first attempt to “step out there” with my designs was not met with acceptance…That quilt you see on the right, Colors of October, was the one I entered into McCall’s Quilt Design Star 2011 (so, it will come down soon, since voting is over). From 93 entries, they […]

Recently almost obsessed with the macro feature on my camera and coming really, really close – detail and color take a whole another stage once you see those […]
