Guess what? I’m working on a special project. A few weeks ago, I was contacted by The Temporary Museum of Permanent Change and Craft Lake City to submit a proposal for a gallery exhibit titled, “Celebration of the Hand”. They accepted my proposal and asked me to create a large piece that will hang in [...]

I have been teaching sewing lessons at a local school for the past few years. I enjoy every minute I spend teaching, but unfortunately the cleaning up is no fun at all. Cleanup has always been a nightmare, since I don’t have my own classroom. Every week I would haul machines, irons, boards (both ironing [...]

Exactly one month ago, Jude Harvey Eugene was born at 8:30 in the morning. The date was 11/11/11, my husband’s 30th birthday. I would like to mention that the birth was completely natural, not induced like many people assume. Ever since his arrival, my life has been a combination of euphoria and fatigue –just like [...]

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 [...]

Ever since, making a quilt has honestly seemed easier. In preparation for Baby Jude’s arrival, the cold [...]

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 [...]
