Behind the quilts
Have you seen these pictures? Design photos! When I design a quilt I take photos as I go along. Photos help me see the blocks in another dimension. It’s kind of like holding your work up to a mirror and looking at it in reverse. Try it and you’ll see what I mean. If something is wrong you should be able to spot it. Remember Yoyoville?

So many variations of this poem have been published over the ages. Hard to know exactly what the original poem was. One thing for sure; Santa’s bag…

Interview by Pat Sloan!
Oh my gosh I love this lady! Pat is the one person who can always make me smile. She has more energy than anyone I know AND she accomplishes more in one day than most of us do in a week. She teaches, has a radio show, several blogs, designs fabrics, and well you get the picture! Today she is interviewing me on her blog! It’s Anne Sutton day over at Pat’s blog! Pat has that famous radio show and she’s been trying to get me on there forever. BUT, I hate doing things like that so I keep making up excuses. When she asked to interview me I sat down at my…
