About Me:

I'm a mom of 1 and wife to my best friend. Our house has turned into a zoo now that we have three dogs, two old cats (the oldest I've had since High School), two chickens and a new kitten. 2012 will be a BIG year for me, I'm going back to school! I love doing swaps and sewing but this year I'll definitely have to scale back until I get into the swing of things :)

About my Sewing & Swapping:

Love AMH Loulouthi and Japanese fabrics. I like natural linen paired with fun/bright fabrics. I can't resist hexagons.

My recent swaps have been amazing and my partners have really caught my style, I hope that this means my faves and galleries are pretty clear/helpful. In addition to AMH, FFA2/FFA3 has peaked my interest...... I am also a big fan of Orla Kiely.

ISO's & Likes:

Denyse Schmidt Hope Valley (see my ISO HV Mosaic)

Heather Ross FFA2/FFA3, Mendocino

KOKKA, Echino

Lecien

Kona Solids - Ash is my favourite, it's so versatile

Bold modern colours and prints

Orla Kiely

Dislikes:

Polyester Blends

Country prints & florals

Roosters (The one exception is the AH Farmdale Roosters)

Holiday themed prints (except when appropriate, and even then I prefer simple and modern)

Neons

Disney etc. prints

I now sew with a Bernina Activa 220! I have been eyeing the Activa's for a long time, and was thrilled to get one for Christmas 2010. My old faithful is a Bernina 1020 - she's built like a tank, a bit older and can be cranky at times but I feel very grateful to be her owner.
