When I opened my box where I collect images and words for my dreamboards I discovered that I had nothing sitting there waiting for me. Which is ironic because when I first read at the new moon what this month’s prompt is, “What would I like an abundance of?” my immediate response was SUPPORT So…

I guess now is a good time to confess that part of the reason I was working away at organizing my space was that I was really procrastinating in anticipation of new fabric! This quartet is as close as I could get myself to come in purchasing RED fabric. I indulged in some Kaffe fabric…

I hope my fellow Canadians enjoyed the long weekend – and some turkey too! Last week I was back at improving my new space. You can see on the left wall a new addition – a great buffet unit for storage and horizontal space. I do have this support pole to work around, but…

I’d like to thank Michele for putting all of this together. She has great vision AND great execution! While you’re at…

I am delighted that I found some YELLOW fabric to go into these blocks! I was cutting up my Christmas scraps and found some lime green and this yellow that I’m not going to keep with my holiday stash. It works wonderfully with the yellow in my brown print, don’t you think? I might even…
