• Crystal Lane is here!

    Happy New Year, everyone! We’ve made it through another year, and to say I’m excited about 2022 would be an understatement. Don’t you love it when one year ends and we can start fresh in a new year? Guess what? Crystal Lane is finally here, and if you’re partial to all things blue and white like I am, then you’ll have the perfect excuse for some January sewing. Welcome, Crystal Lane! Maybe I should remind everyone what Crystal Lane looks like! It’s been so long you may have forgotten. Here’s the main print in my Crystal Lane line, and this one also happens to be my favorite. I try and…

  • More snow happy hearts

    April, May and June Snow Happy Hearts are up on the website and blog, ready for you to make! Here’s April… May…   and June: You’ll find the patterns for these under our “free” section on my blog or website.   I have the biggest urge to just stop everything I’m working on and make another set of these hearts.  Maybe I’d make them in felt or wool.  But, alas I have new things I’m working on that have design deadlines of September 14th., and new things to make as soon as my advance yardage arrives. I’m a snowman lover so I’m sure there are more snowmen to come!  Can…

  • Some fun wool applique

    I love wool applique, and I love Lisa from Primitive Gatherings even more!  When she offered to put together a collection of wool for my 101 Maple Street fabric line, I said yes, yes, yes!  Just look at this yummy wool! Have you ever seen such a perfectly co-ordinated bundle?  This bundle inspired my newest petite pattern called “Woolums.” I normally glue-baste my wool applique in place, but this time I tried Lisa’s method of using fusible web,  and I just loved it!  The pattern has been written for the fusible web method, and the drawings have been reversed for you. I blanket stitched these little gems using two strands…
