  • Thread Storage System

    My new quilting space is getting a lot of use and still getting organized. I’m learning the difference between storing stuff and having a system for getting to stuff I use frequently.

  • Piecing Glorious Autumn

      It’s time for WEEK 2 of the Glorious Autumn Block Party hosted by Michelle at the Quilting Gallery.

  • Blue Moon Dreamboard

    Two full moons in August means that this a BLUE moon. Jamie has an extra special prompt for this special moon: What extra-super-special dream do you want to invite in? I really felt myself resist the process this time. Sometimes the dream would be right there, beneath the surface and I would smile to myself.…

  • Scenes from my New Quilting Space

    I am very happy with how much space I have to work on projects. All of these flat surfaces have been completely covered at least once since I’ve set up!   To the left of my work area I have enough wall space to display a quilt. Right now I have up my Bunny Lady…
