word of the year 2012

If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you’ll know that each year I try and pick a word that I can reflect on throughout the year. In 2010, my word was trust. It ended up being a difficult year for me in that area but nonetheless, I appreciated getting to reflect on what trust [...]

another ‘sewcial’ weekend: winter 2011

Love these little weekend getaways. Nothing recharges me the way hanging out, relaxing and sewing seems to. This is the third time we have been able to get away and craft this year (read about the first and second times).

T-shirt Quilt

A friend of mine from church commissioned me to make this t-shirt quilt for her teenage son as a Christmas gift. It was a first for me on a couple levels – first t-shirt quilt and first quilt larger than a baby quilt. I tried to take the most modern approach to a t-shirt quilt [...]
