My design wall is quite empty this morning! This past weekend was a ‘ketchup’ funfest with Pat Sloan. And ketchup I did.I got all the inner blocks assembled and the first border on the picnic quilt. I put ties in more than HALF of my OP quilt. I’m very happy with how it’s turning out!…

I went to my local quilt store and picked out threads to match my applique on the Lucky Charms sew along top.I’m trying really hard on this project to keep things matchy matchy!If you click on the photo you can see that I didn’t pick out green thread for my stems and leaves, but a…

I made this house door hanging for my sister. It will fit down the linen closet door she is using in her new sewing space. I made one house for each season using up some scraps. In this closer shot of the ‘spring’ house you might be able to see my free motion daisies in…
