I made a modified herringbone quilt for my mother, for Christmas, from an original quilt design of mine. I didn’t really have a solidified plan when I sat down to start. As a result, I had lost of leftover scraps. Here are a few photos showing what I did with the scraps… Don’t throw those [...]

I’m a firm believer in saving and using scraps, even though it can sometimes become overwhelming. I put up with the chaos it creates because I believe in being resourceful and “green”. Lately, all my scrap-saving has really come in handy –I’ve been busting through my scrappy piles as I prepare for The Beehive Bazaar. [...]

When I was a little girl, my sister and I loved to dress up dolls: paper dolls, Barbie dolls, Cabbage Patch Kids. We never really played with the dolls.

We’re not talking like, “I’ll take the summer home in the Hampton’s and you can have the cabin in the Rockies,” but rather, “Do you want the plates with the butterflies or the pink [...]

Hey look, that’s me. What am I wearing? Yikes! This was my exact thought the other day when I walked past a mirror. Nine months ago I had a baby, and since my pregnancy weight has come off, all my clothes have been too big; they look terribly frumpy on me. I could of course [...]
