    Happy Thursday, Everyone! Today I finished up the second fabric collage of Rockport, MA with a beautiful coat of resin.

    Word Of The Year and Fabric Collage

    Happy 2023, everyone! I love January and that clean slate feeling! It’s a time for new planners, new goals, new supplies, and of course, a new word for the year! My word for last year was connection. I’m not sure how I did with that one and I’m not going to analyze it since it’s […]

  • Fabric Collaging an Iconic Structure

    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.

    You Could Have Heard A Pin Drop…

    You could have heard a pin drop…that’s how this blog feels today! It’s been such a long while since I’ve posted and that’s really due to increased use of Instagram, life changes, and burn out. Welcome to any readers out there who are still checking in on blogs! Yay for you!!! I decided to write […]

  • Quick Dessert For Your Next Quilty Gathering!

    Quick Dessert For Your Next Quilty Gathering!

    Last night Leah and I made a delish dessert from a few things we had in the pantry. We were pretty deep into a Hallmark Christmas movie and the urge to have a quick but decadent dessert grew stronger. This is also a fast one for quilting or book club get togethers! Leah’s Black Forest […]

    Quilts, Photos, and Empty Nests

    Happy February! It’s a time for candy, hearts, flowers, and for me…turning 50! It’s a weird number and it’s just a number. I won’t be too bothered by it. It’s my turn for a quarantine birthday on the 22nd. I share the day with a few celebs like Drew Barrymore, Steve Irwin, Ted Kennedy, and […]

    A Word for the Year

    It’s been a hot minute since I updated this blog. I won’t offer any excuses other than…2020. What a crazy year it was and I’m looking forward to a new year, new start, new projects, and a new word for 2021. Like many of you, I have always chosen a word for the year as […]

    Pairs Nicely With Wine….

    We’ve battened down the hatches here in MA and are getting ready for our windy evening from Tropical Storm Isaias. My long arm has been turned off in case of a power surge and my wine glass is full. Can’t think of a better time to update my blog with everything I’ve been up to, […]

  • Why I Love A Quilt A Long

    Why I Love A Quilt A Long

    A few years ago my quilty group of students and I decided a quilt a long would be a fun challenge! We chose a pattern and everyone made the same quilt but in different colors. It turned out to be a whole lot of fun and now we are on our third year of doing […]
