(A little… a lot of assistance from ChatGPT to create this cool comic strip) Art quilts don’t have to start with a complicated sketch, a ruler fight, or a mild panic over tiny pieces. Sometimes the most meaningful stories begin with a simple silhouette. (My friend had completed a Jelly Roll Race but didn’t know what to do with the top.   I begged her to let me have and try something with it.  With the use of my silhouette cutter… I turned the already pretty fall Jelly Roll Ra

Sometimes a project isn’t just about making a thing. It’s about pulling together skills you already have, making mistakes along the way, and choosing to use those moments as opportunities to try new techniques or ideas. It’s about fixing what doesn’t feel right, experimenting without pressure, and ending up with something that makes you smile every time you see it.

I mean… not to toot my own jingle bell, but I’m not a bad-looking elf. 😉 ******************************************************** Soooooo, I have a confession to make.

Right now, I’m deep in the process of getting everything ready for my Appliqué Thread Sketching class, and I wanted to share a little peek behind the scenes. My worktable has officially turned into a happy hub of creativity. Ornaments are lined up on my design board, each one a tin

Working on my next online class with Creative Spark Lately, I’ve stepped away from the noise of social media to dive deep into what I love most Creating and Teaching . It’s been refreshing to trade scrolling for stitching, to let my creative thoughts wander while the hum of the sewing machine fills the studio.
