Fabric Collaging an Iconic Structure
I last posted about the start of my fabric collage series featuring scenes from Rockport, MA. I love Rockport and have taken many photographs of the harbor over the years and it really thrills me to be able to create art quilts from those photos.

How January Is Going
I’m really hurting today for a blog post title, can you tell? Lol! So we’re cruising right through January. All the decorations are down and the long arm is back up and running.

Wildfire Square
Yesterday I finally settled on a beginner crochet square to work on from the book, 100 Colorful Granny Squares to Crochet by Leonie Morgan. I chose the Wildfire square but I’m changing the yarn colors to suit my living room. I think I’ll make 9 squares and turn them into a throw pillow for the […]

Chilly Crochet
Like many of you, we are experiencing bitter cold here in the North East. It makes you feel like all you want to do is huddle under a quilt and work on a project like crocheting. I first learned to crochet from my mother-in-law when I was first married. She made lovely, warm afghans that […]
