A few months back we asked my daughter what she wanted to be for Halloween. Her reply was a “princess ballerina” –completely predictable. My husband and I were hoping to do something a little more creative though and so we decided on “The Black Swan”. Yesterday, we tested this costume out, and it was a [...]

The past four months of my pregnancy have been difficult. When I was pregnant with Monet, despite the morning sickness at the beginning, life went on as usual those last 5-6 months. Everyday I walked to and from work 3 miles, I was energetic, and ready to take on the world. I felt like a [...]

Three years ago, I truly enjoyed making a Charley Harper Applique Embroidery Quilt for my daughter Monet. It was my first quilt, and so I think it will always be my favorite, as this is when I discovered and feel in love with the process of quilting. (You can find the pattern for sale here.) [...]

Last winter, I told a touching story about a custom t-shirt quilt that I made for a lovely lady who had lost her husband. This summer, I made another custom t-shirt quilt for one of the daughters. I feel honored to have been able to make this family heirloom for her. What a special remembrance [...]

With summer comes tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, carrots, herbs, and zucchini. I love gardening, and reaping the benefits of having fresh veggies, yet at the same time, it can sometimes be overwhelming. A few weeks back, I posted some of my favorite recipes that use both tomatoes and zucchini. And again today I’ll be posting similar [...]

Today, I’ll be shipping another custom applique and embroidered walking bird quilt –this one will be going to Australia. My client, Meg, is a bit whimsical, which ironically always takes more communication when it comes to selecting all the fabric prints.

Lately, tomatoes and zucchini have been overtaking our kitchen, as each day we bring a new batch in from the garden. It’s been one of those situations where we don’t have quite enough to can, but we do have enough for them to be the focal point of dinner most nights. I have tried a [...]
