I am a retired homeschool mom with 2 boys!

Both are in college so now I have LOTS of time for sewing and quilting.

 

I am all about the fabric love lots of different lines. I Usually put something together according to my fabric preferences. I love:, Tula Pink, Sweetwater (moda), cosmo cricket, lizzy house, Joel Dewberry, Heather Ross, Monaluna

Really into Kona solids right now

I adore Linen,

And lets not forget about Yuwa! Japanese imports!

 

Style: New York beauties-love them!

Clamshells

HEXAGONS!

log cabin style quilts(carpenters squares, log cabins, cross blocks)

I also use a lot of circles in my piecing and my quilting.

Can't get enough Union jacks!

I do love applique and embroidery...adore little stitchy bits for quilting

Linen in quilting!

Liberated quilting.

Badbirds embroidery!!

Love everything Charlie Harper!

 

I also LOVE when someone makes me something that just shows their style! That really means the most to me to have a little bit of you in my sewing room! Make something that speaks to you...don't get too hung up about making something that I will like...I like so many many things! You can usually tell, my mosaics are ALL over the place!

 

Colors: bright and cheery, there is not much I don't like! Not really into reproduction fabrics, but if it is your thing and you do it well I will love it!

 

I am about the challenge....I love to try to stretch my piecing skills and give someone what they weren't expecting!

  

I like pincushions, needle books, and small handmade things..

 

I hope this helps you get to know me!
