A few days ago I posted on Facebook that I have a book idea knocking around in my head, trying to get out. It’s been knocking for a while and I’ve not been ready to commit the time and energy it would require to create it. Every excuse is a good one…but not really valid!… Continue reading Idea commitment
Liz Kettle has a new book, First-Time Beading on Fabric! It’s so new that when I checked the other day, it wasn’t on Amazon! It’s there and all the other good places now, so you will be able to get it, too. I got my copy at Artistic Artifacts and I have read every single… Continue reading Book Review: First-Time Beading on Fabric
I am back from my first Quilt Market experience and it was fabulous. I had three different book signing events, 2 demo sessions and a schoolhouse and I was not one of the very busy people there! I will be sorting through a few more pictures, and telling you all about my great friends and… Continue reading Marvelous Market!

My husband and IÂ are heading off to Paducah right after work tonight. I get to be part of the Book Fair section at Preview night for the AQS Quilt Show. I don’t travel with a computer, so I won’t be heard from for a few days, but I plan on sharing all my adventures with… Continue reading Hello, Paducah!
I have said at least 100 times that I can’t wait to get a copy of my book into my hot little hands. After waiting so long, I finally have copies of my book and my excitement is so great that my ‘hot little hands’ are burning up! It’s very surreal to see your work… Continue reading My Hands Are Burning!
My daughter came through for me again. We discussed the naming of my new piece and between the two of us came up with Up and Away…because as I looked at it some more I decided that it would work just as well turned 90 degreees. That would make it much more of a traditional… Continue reading Collaborative Naming
