• Apricot Blossoms in Shades of Pink

    I had spring fever yesterday so Brigette and I took an hour at lunch to drive around the orchards where we live.  The fruit trees are coming to life, the hills are green and the sky is so blue.  We drove the back roads through farmland.  It’s wonderful to see at this time of year! The colors of nature are something to see.  To think that each of these little flowers will become apricots! The pinks will become the colors of apricots.  Mother nature knows what she’s doing!  It would be fun to see the palette on a cloudy day.   I hope you are enjoying some signs of spring…

  • Lily & Will II is here!

    I’ve been so caught up working on new patterns it took me by complete surprise when Kimberly at Fat Quarter Shop emailed to say she has my new fabric, Lily & Will II in stock!   It’s finally arrived and I’m feeling like a new mom!

  • Henrietta is Back!

The fabric for Henrietta, Lilac Hill and Antique Fair should be in quilt shops soon, if not already!  I know it seems like it’s taking forever, but at least you’ve…

  • Is it the 5th yet?

    I rushed around like crazy yesterday trying to get things done. Have you ever had one of those weeks where you can’t remember what day it is?  I thought today was March 5th and I rushed to get my newsletter done and even posted block three of Henrietta!   When I realized today is only the 4th I decided to leave block three up.   You get the pattern early because I don’t know what day it is! Mooch watched me all day trying to figure out why on earth I was rushing around. Wonder what Mooch was thinking? Never mind, I think I know… Today will be a better…
